Imaginary places. (was motd 2)

So you've worked out where it isn't. Now the tricky bit for you to work out where this 'place' is.

 

...and it's often referred to as a river, as when the R-38 Airship landed in it:

If you want to join in and help out with a bit of chicken choking and tail pulling...

 

You can do your King Canute turn with them about their name?

I doubt you'd get on air though- it'd probably be classed as a crank call.

 

Gosh. Who would have thought it? You're getting desperate now.

 

What on earth are you burbling on about?

Are you really left trying to invent imaginary scenarios as well as non-existent places.

 

I'm a vegetarian otherwise I would have helped out.

 

So many women don't let meat pass their lips once they're married.

 

I'm not 'getting desperate now' - my point is that it doesn't matter whether it's a river or an estuary. Places along it are (despite their individual names) on Humberside.

Note: I didn't write 'in' as the local government area no longer exists. As you well know but persist in claiming that I - and others - are referring to that defunct area.


Edit: Humberside is a physical fact.

 

"About The Humberside Region - Humberside was a non-metropolitan county of England from April 1, 1974 until April 1, 1996. It was composed of two halves either side of the Humber estuary, created using part of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, Parts of Lindsey. The county council's headquarters were County Hall at Beverley, inherited from the East Riding, and its largest city Kingston upon Hull. Humberside was divided into several non-metropolitan districts Beverley, Boothferry, Cleethorpes, East Yorkshire, Glanford, Great Grimsby, Holderness and Scunthorpe. It bordered North Yorkshire to the north and west, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire to the south-west, and Lincolnshire to the south. In local government terms it was abolished on April 1, 1996, with four unitary authorities being formed: North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire. Humberside is still referenced so as a geographic term."

 

Yes I have read the thread thank you.
As far as I am concerned, Humberside has never existed. I have always used East Yorkshire in my postal address.

 

You've said yourself that you've no idea what you're claiming as the area for the place you're inventing. Why don't you and the other two get together and try and get an agreement between you?

 

The bit that Dutch doesn't see, nor accept ^^^^^^^^^

 

Fixed it for you.

Get googling.

 

What do you mean? I think you just move the goalposts when challenged.

 

I'm worried about him.

It's a form of mild psychosis.

 

Quite right, now Northseaside and Channelside, they're brill they are. Maybe you could describe the boundary without using any existing names, careful though, the person you're quoting has a different set of boundaries to yours. Get him sorted.

 

Yeah but for everyone else it did exist as a metropolitan county and still does exist as a geographic region.

 

What, like these boundaries you can't find and that differ from Reg's?

 

The theory that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth has generally been found to be bollocks.
