Agree 100%, and also the Silicon <Tag> theme is getting tired.

At least here in London they're now calling the Old Street tech hub 'Tech City' instead of 'Silicon Roundabout'.



It can also be the kiss of death. Look what's happened to Scotland's "Silicon" Glen [0].

It always was, officially. It's just that everyone else ignored that and called it "Silicon Roundabout" regardless.


As old street used to be a major tech centre for BT (207 and 211) we used to call it the one with the really rubbish canteen.
