[shipping zones] do you know your british coast

In the map below, the zones immediately surrounding the main island have been blanked out, except for their initials. Can you identify the zones?

    Yes, but as a commercial yachtmaster I've heard it so often I will be mumbling the shipping forecast as I walk towards the light.

    James,

    What DM said. Rote by osmosis.

    There's a thing; why not put a e.g. Russian routine phrase per month on your masthead with an English translation and a phonetic pronunciation? One per month and a test next December?

    Due to Radio 4 I could have recited a number of them in order, but wouldn't have been able to say where they were...

    One for James: what did Fitzroy used to be called?
