"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!
