This is the end of the notes on BBC news broadcasts=
Transcriber's note:
The project was first started in 2003 and then I got
as far as a page 450.
In December 2020 I restarted the project and in
March 2021 the project was finished.
In 2003 I located the names of places using
Microsoft Mappoint, but as this has been
discontinued somewhere along the line the
links to Mappoint have been removed.
At the time I chose Mappoint over Google Maps
because in 2003 Mappoint was superior in
locating the places mentioned in the notes in
comparison with Google Maps.
In 2020 I returned to Google (Maps) to locate
the places mentioned and this time most of
the places did turn up in the results.
The spelling of geographical names seems to be
in a continual state of flux. I have used the
names presented by Google Maps in 2020/21
most of the time, but in some cases I have
used the English version of the names or the
Dutch version.
The British spelling was the preferred spelling
over the American spelling because of the
obvious reason that the notes are on British
news broadcasts, however there may be some
lack of consistency and of course there will also
be plain mistakes in the spelling.
This lack of consistency and the occurrence of
mistakes may also apply to the use of capitals.
The names of persons and geographical names
I have tried to confirm using the internet, mainly
Wikipedia and Google Maps.
Names that I could not confirm and parts of the
text that I could not decipher are marked with [?].
Remarks on spelling etc. are welcome!
