Not if he's got an actual criminal past. Did he deck someone or something? I genuinely can't remember the facts.

They're a territory owned by the Queen, not by the UK. They have their own governments and money and EVERYTHING. Yes, the same as Gibraltar.

CORNWALL.

Close. It was "Every prime minister needs a Willie".

My mum's parents were called Pearl and Dean. But I just called them Grandpa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa and Grandma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.

Bollocks. Barrow was never in Cumberland. Never ever. Look at your old maps closely. And Newcastle was in the county of Northumberland, but the kingdom of Northumbria -- which stretches from the river Tweed to the river Tees and is bounded by the Pennines.

Blimey. Insight indeed. I wonder how many other members of LDC that applies to? (The bit about stubborn-ness, that is)

If you're a firefighter, yes. If you're a cricket supporter, no. If you're a fireman who likes cricket, f*** knows.

Greater Manchester comprises the cities of Manchester and Salford, and the Metropolitan Boroughs of Bury, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Trafford, Tameside, Stockport and Wigan. Greater Manchester had its own county council between 1974 and 1986. It still has its own police and fire services, and...

You need to be more specific. Which current administrative counties? (East Sussex, or Kent, or the Isle of Wight) Which current ceremonial counties? (Sussex or Lancashire or -- arguably -- Greater Manchester) Which historic counties? (Middlesex or GLoucestershire?) What do you mean?

Oh Christ. I think I, and geography teachers around the globe, have just slumped into an irreversible coma. Right. Cornwall is a county. Neither Plymouth, nor Torquay, is in it. Leeds is in what, until about 1986, was known as the "Metropolitan County of West Yorkshire". It's now in a place...
