    There used to be a Facebook page out there campaigning for this :)

    My sister lives in Newport and is a bit annoyed by the same thing, but mostly the Pompey postcode.

    It was Hampshire in the past, but is now a county....so no excuse. And there is talk of splitting the Island so that one half shares an MP with part of Portsmouth and the other is linked to Southampton.....the excuse being that all MPs should represent the same number of constituents. Makes sense until you come to an island...we obviously have the same concerns on both sides of the Island....whilst not particularly caring about problems in Southampton and Portsmouth.

    Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion have been three separate counties since about 1996 - it had been one huge county before then called Dyfed - but I still get so much post with the county of Dyfed in the address and online forms also have Dyfed as the county. Drives me potty, it's been separated for over 20 years for goodness sake!

    We still get that with Avon, which also hasn't existed since 1996. Mind you, while Chilcompton has always been in Somerset, go 2 miles North to Midsomer Norton and you find yourself in Bath and North-East Somerset, which really rolls off the tongue. Most people call it BANES!

    Well, it's finally happened ...... I'm now of no fixed abode for a couple of weeks before I move to my new place in Romsey. It won't be so convenient for me to blag a lift off FLT, but I'm done with a very messy few years of my life and able to look forward to a new chapter. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Even a cat lover would admit they're all odd. I thought that was the appeal.

    No , Cat owners ( if there is such a thing ) are odd , Cat's are perfect :)

    Unless you mean the cat owner would admit They ( The owner ) are odd . In my case I agree 100%:confused:

    Damn good episode, best this season. Still waiting on Bran to reveal something rather than keep saying he knows everything. His scene with Baelish was good to watch.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/n...elona-adds-to-fears-as-tourism-protests-grow/

    Attack on tourist bus by protesters in Barcelona. They may have a point about their city being over run, but people on the bus thought it was a terrorism attack. Someone could have panicked in those circumstances and anything could have happened. The tourist trade in Spain is recovering (mainly due to people going there rather than a Muslim country), so not what they need. I wouldn't feel afraid to go to Barcelona because of this, but it must make people feel unwelcome.

    TBH, I've never watched the damned thing.

    Has that spoiled it for you?
