Using Agro's common parlance argument as opposed to Dutch's, I look forward to hearing Radio Humberside's ticker-tape celebrations in Grimsby when Luke Campbell wins Agro's region's first gold!
What did I start by making yet another Bullard thread...an argument about Humberside...is it a five minute argument or the full half hour?
Let's talk about Bullard again, this Geography stuff is boooooooring. So, Jimbob, bit of a character.... Discuss.
Hull City- Pride of Humberside, or if you prefer, that region of north Lincolnshire and that region of east Yorkshire which form the two banks of the river Humber and which share common industries and commercial sectors.
The River Humber has no banks. Like your region, it doesn't exist. It's an Estuary. Mind you, I would be interested to read the informed opinion of Mr Dmsdtle on the subject.
To be fair, geography is more interesting than Jimmy. Though I think this topic's pretty much been put to bed now.
Why not the pride of the historic East Riding of Yorkshire? Do we still share industries and commercial sectors with Fleetwood-shire and Bristol-shire. What the hell, link with them. That makes it right!!
http://www.riverhumber.com/ Technically an estuary, widely known as a river. Correctly speaking it's Kingston upon Hull, but Hull in common parlance and has been for over a hundred years.
Strictly speaking, it's the City and County of Kingston upon the River Hull that's written on my birth certificate. County Kingston we are. Why are you lot arguing about Yorkshire? You don't hear them Bristolians describing themselves as anything other than being from the City and County of Bristol, so let's not us sell our birthright short either.
I would just like to add that the HDM had a columnist who wrote by the pseudonym of John Humber back in the 1960 and he even used the term Humberside whenever writing about the area, there was no fuss about the name then.
Actually, I'm right behind the whole renewables thing. They might not be cost effective, or particularly practical, but they're flavour of the month and possibly the best thing to happen to this city in the past twenty years.
I've never really get my head around the name "renewable". My car's 'renewable' but it means I can change it for another one, much as I can with fossil fuel energy.
change the word 'city', to 'the historic region of humberside', and you could well be supporting Agro's BBC employee justification argument
