I would have posted the link to the official Blue Flag website page, but as they are promoting Cleethorpes in Yorkshire, I'll not bother

Yes, I have emailed the website pointing out their error

So the other Cleethorpes, the clean one, won the prize?

It did say Yorkshire and Humber regions GB>

wasn't Cleethorpes always in Yorkshire until the invented Humberside?

(I always address all letters to Middlesborough as Yorkshire instead of that Johhy-come-lately Teeside place...)

It says "Yorkshire and the Humber" *now* because I emailed the site manager yesterday to point out their error. Yesterday the Cleethorpes page said "Cleethorpes, Yorkshire".

No, Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire was where I was born, Sho. Then it changed to Cleethorpes, South Humberside which got switched to Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire since then. Cleethorpes has never been in Yorkshire.

ah that's ok then
I don't have to get militant about it!

Cleethorpes is just jealous cos it's not in Yorkshire!

Isn't everywhere that isn't in Yorkshire?

I used to keep unofficial statistics about where the members were onn a message board I belonged to. Once I just printed the stats as Yorkshire and Suburbs of Yorkshire.

Apparently they still do that...

It's just part of how Yorkshire is going to take over the country

Prof for Prime Minister!!

Hoggy for Chancellor!

That would wipe out the National Debt!

The trouble with taking over the world is that then *everywhere* would be Yorkshire. Who would we sneer at then?

You have a point

We could keep Lancashire as a plaything... just keep kicking it every now and then...

Hah!

blimey, yes.

But when we take over the rest of the world, it will still be Yorkshire (old ridings) and the suburbs of Yorkshire. So we'll be able to sneer as much as we like.

Especially at Lancastrians...

Good thinking!

Have a Yorkshire Pudding...

Erm....

I'm actually from Cheshire

So South Lancashire, then...

...

Should we give GB her thread back now?
