So basically, it seems like a "London problem" is being reported in the press as a "Nation-wide problem"?

I think it's affected the Manchester area as well and maybe some other larger cities but I do think the reporting should be clearer about the types of areas affected, and that outside of the bigger population centres there isn't really an issue.
