    It's not just about liking or disliking the name Polly.

    Months and months of searching and you find a few references. Seems to show it wasn't a much used term.<laugh>

    Piss poor, Reg. You're destroying your own arguments.

    You destroying your own arguments. You've spent months and months hunting these, and you're left posting a few peoples repeated comments. <laugh>

    How desperate are you to not be seen as so obviously wrong?


    How do you square your irrational position with your comments about people not opposing the Allams name change?

    I've spent minutes and minutes- it's a website on the internet, silly billy!

    I posted some of the thousands of examples of the use of the term 'Humberside' pre 1974.

    It was obviously in common parlance back then as it is now.

    By the way, have you ever considered applying for a job at the North Korean Embassy?

    OK.

    I was correct at the time then!

    Let me know when it returns to the original point, so I can post again!

    Nah, you posted that first link months back and scuttled off to find more when it was pointed out to be bollocks as rather than the 1000's you claim, it's effectively the same ones from the HDM (ffs) repeated. But even if it wasn't, your exaggerated own claim of dozens a year seems to confirm it wasn't in common usage.

    If you're going to try coming back, can you dig something decent, your current efforts are stinking the place out.
