WHERE IS WESSEX?

OK, that sounds a bit of an odd question, but definitions are quite vague ranging from just Dorset to most of southern England. I think it really comes down to whether one is talking about Hardy Country or the kingdom of Alfred the Great. Below are a selection of towns and cities and by finding out which ones score the highest I intend to come up with a fairly good idea of where Wessex lies to the average person.
