Stephen Lewis Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Are the UK postal service still using counties to sort the letters, or are they happy with just the post code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great names though, along with Lindsey. And surely everybody was delighted when the semi-mythical Rutlandshire made a reemergence twenty years ago. And then you can drill down into Hundreds and, in the areas that were part of the Danelaw, Wapentakes. All organised for troop raising for the King's army, Wapentake = Weapon take. My favourite is South Holland, the southern part of Lincolnshire, centre of the kingdom of Lindsey. None of this actually matters or earns you any money and doesn't compare for excitement with spending hours on a PlayStation. It is though, as the programme title puts it, quite interesting.

I bet loads wont have a clue where on the planet our potential new Centre Forward is from...let alone Magners. Who was the last Australian player to play for City??...was it Nick Carle?? Hope Djuric settles in as quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 15 hours ago, View from the Dolman said: Lots of websites still seem to offer Avon. Madness! I was just going to make the same point. Many drop down forms you have to select a county, and there is no option for Bristol. Sometimes it's Avon or you have to choose either Somerset or Gloucestershire. And we wonder why mail is delayed!

Northern Red Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thought of this thread when I saw this quote from Bob Bradley, responding to rumours that the Swansea players nicknamed him Ronald Reagan: "Trust me on this, not one of those players knows who Ronald Reagan is."
