I wouldn't put too much store on this map. The fact that The Yorkshire Wolds have been inundated suggests a sea level rise of over 800 feet. I'm not sure there's enough water locked up in the poles to make this happen.
The fact that the map has "Anglesea", "Bournmouth" and, worst of all, "Glascow" doesn't exactly inspire confidence either. How on earth did they get Aberystwyth right amid all those floody awful errors?
For once I have to agree with stu and disagree with you. The River Humber exists and Hull is sited on the banks of the River Humber so therefore on Humberside. Don't know what the **** Hornsea has to do with it as we are not talking about the authority than national government saw fit to lump us in with the yellow bellies. To deny the fact that we are actually on the banks of the Humber is the same bullshit the Sheffield twats came up with when they said we are not in Yorkshire forgetting that the original Yorkshire county was North,East and West Ridings and they where part of the West
We don't live on the banks of the River Humber, because the Humber is an Estuary, not a River. However, that aside, it's still a nonsense of an argument as people are talking about a region not just Hull, hence asking about Hornsea, Pock, Driff Scunthorpe etc plus very few people live on the Estuary bank, hence the City and County of Kingston upon the River Hull, not "upon the Humber Estuary. We've just gone through the arguments with the club about a name change, why people try to then trample over our regional history by attempting to justify a term that doesn't fit is simply bizarre. EDIT. Forgot to say, parts of Sheffield were actually Derbyshire and others Nottinghamshire!!
Yes, I know. That was what I was getting at. My point being that they were listed as being in Humberside when it was in existence officially. But clearly are not on the banks of the river/estuary/whatever we are calling it (delete as appropriate). I can see why it was being referred to as Humberside years ago in the immediate vicinity of the banks but those outlying villages are nowt to do with it are they. That was my only point really.
I think you will find that the definition of Estuary is the mouth of a river so sorry it is the River Humber so we do live on the banks of the Humber and so the term Humberside is valid. I did not like the regional authority forced upon us in 1974 any more than you do, in fact I have written to the post office demanding they remove the term from the postal address list and give us at least East Yorkshire as our address but in the context used by the OP the term Humberside is and should be acceptable
Nope. An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. That's the Humber that is. Plus WE don't live on the banks of the Humber at all. Ducks do. Most people live well away from the banks. Pocklington, Driffield, Beverley for example. The Royal Mail don't recognise ANY Counties in the Postal Address Files (paf) that they supply. Humberside is included as it is (wrongly) described as a former County. It was never intended as one, it was an administrative region, in much the same way that a Unitary Authority is. It was a self imprtant woman in charge of the administration that took it on hereself to describe it as Englands newest County, and spent OUR money promoting the ****e. To use Humberside is simply wrong and as inaccurate as describing Hornsea as Northseaside.
It doesn't, but like the plod and fire bobbies, they have to qualify it by explaining they cover East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire because their name is geographically meaningless. It could equally be the Mary Whitehouse radio station or Keystone cops. The BBC do have an agenda for keeping the name though, because there's no natural reason to keep us linked with Grimsby and Cleethorpes for Radio Coverage, when neither of us are interested in each other.
Even Radio Humberside don't say they're broadcasting to Humberside, they say they're broadcasting to East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire.
