This could include a song that mentions the whole of the UK or any place in it down to as small as a street.

Go...

Yudster's got my vote, but I'm going for what I had in mind when I chose the subject:

Ralph McTell - Streets of London

The inspiration came from the song I picked... it ended up in my head the other day seemingly out of nowhere and I've always loved it and tried to think of a way I could include it and then thought this was quite topical.

Tim, have you just discovered the word 'fail'? That's your second post today to use it. I think as an internet expression it's had its day, to be honest. Especially when combined with 'epic'.

I'm not sure if it counts as text-speak. It isn't mentioned in the rules, probably cos it wasn't in common usage when the rules were made.

Internet speak and text speak are 2 different things though, right?

Are we going to have to pass cm.net legislation...

They are. The rules specifically prohibit the phrases 'fact' and 'end of', which makes me laugh, especially considering that 'FACT!' is one of Comedy Dave's favourite sayings.
