"AND Linconlshire".......have you noticed that the BBC weather
forcasters are obsessed with Linconlshire, it's mentioned on nearly
every weather bulletin.
It's because Lincolnshire does not easily fit into a "region". Not
really
Midlands, not the North, not East Anglia. I'm sure Jasper Carrot must
have made a joke about it at some time, like "what is the purpose of
Lincolnshire,
the only county that has a town with a very rude word in it".

And the tourist department of that particular town were rather peeved that
many search engines blocked peoples enquiries because of that word ;-)
This a few years ago and I gather it's fixed now.
Pete, Coventry (who has still a lot to learn about meteorology, but not
rude words! )

Born and bred in Lincolnshire but I can't (nor my wife) think of where
you're talking about. Some strange names, ie Spittle-in-the-Street, but I'm
baffled! If it's so bad perhaps it can't be repeated?
