"AND Linconlshire".......have you noticed that the BBC weather
forcasters are obsessed with Linconlshire, it's mentioned on nearly
every weather bulletin.

... it's a historical thing back into the mists of Met Office (and
BBC)
time: I believe the appropriate people at Exeter are looking at the
problem.


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".

Not the only county surely.
When I lived in Penistone I wanted to establish a town twinning society
and
a Lincolnshire town seemed the logical place.

g thats naughty, David! :D

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.

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?

ROFL on some weather boards that have nasty word protection, that town comes out
just like that.

E.g. it was snowing in S******rpe today.

You're overlooking the existence of Penistone.

I once did a few obs at Pershore (03528) and stayed in a village
called Wyre Piddle.

I can just imagine a baffled American saying:

"PENIStown?? Gee honey, what kind of a name is THAT?"

I couldn't think of it either.
Skegness, Grimsby, Cleethorpes........
I had to look at a map.

And then I was remined of the amusing anagram of Newark......
