Oxfordshire (pronounced /ˈɒksfərdʃər/ or /ˈɒksfərdʃɪər/; abbreviated Oxon, from the Latinised form Oxonia) is a county in the South East England region, bordering on Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire. It is divided into five local government districts: Oxford, Cherwell, Vale of White Horse (after the Uffington White Horse), West Oxfordshire and South Oxfordshire. The county has a major tourism industry. The area is noted for the concentration of performance motorsport companies and facilities. Oxford University Press has headed a concentration of print and publishing firms; the university is also linked to the concentration of local biotechnology companies. The main centre of population is the city of Oxford. Other significant settlements are Banbury, Bicester, Kidlington, and Chipping Norton to the north of Oxford; Witney to the west; Thame and Chinnor to the east; and Abingdon, Wantage, Didcot, Wallingford and Henley-on-Thames to the south. Future population growth in the county is hoped to be concentrated around Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, Didcot and Witney, near the South Midlands growth area. The highest point of the county is White Horse Hill, in the Vale of White Horse, reaching 261 metres (856 ft) . Oxfordshire's county flower is the Snake's-head Fritillary. From Wikipedia under the

Q. i want the day off school! haha x Asked by layla - Wed Dec 3 14:09:45 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's not gonna snow round our way tomorrow, if it does it certainly won't be enough for a school to be cancelled. It's going be very very cold, it may snow in the early hours of the morning, but not enough to settle or make a difference. But then again, the weather could still change!
