    Is this a different Midlands than the one Birmingham, Solihull and Milton Keynes are in? [IFO - My bad. Apple lists it as 'East Midlands' in their job listing Web page, as opposed to 'West Midlands' where the other stores are located. I've cleaned up the story language.]

    I live in Leicester and we already have a good Apple reseller at http://www.krcs.co.uk. This is good news though because the nearest Apple Store is the one in Birmingham.

    Leicester is East Midlands and Birmingham is West Midlands, a good 43 miles away. http://lnk.nu/maps.google.co.uk/jd8

    The Midlands is a bit ‘catch all’ - Birmingham and Solihull are ‘West Midlands’ - Milton Keynes is effectively the ‘South’ really…

    Leicester (where the new store will be) is in the ‘East Midlands…’

    Amazingly - all the various areas are around an hour away from each other - but have totally different accents and dialects / naunces…!

    Yes, and all require a passport to move between ;-)
