It's the silly season when PRs make up stuff like this to interest editors
who are struggling to fill papers but are devoid of any real hard content.
Don't treat it too seriously.

AFAIR, only Cambridge has a "May Week" - originally in May, before the

"June event" to the more traditional "May ball". The Oxford equivalent
is the Commem. ball.

IMHO "Is Edinburgh in Glasgow?" is a valid question, even though the
answer is "No."
