And another, who'd have thought it, a Somerset takeover!
I guess you assumed a thread aimed at UK members would not know where Suffolk was?
Oh I know where Suffolk is, it's a ten minute walk from here, just over the extinct railway line. Buuuut, despite spending a lot of time in Wales when I was a youngster I'm not at all sure where the counties are now they've been renamed in Welsh. Scotland I'm a bit better at having lived there for a while in Caithness. Northern Ireland no idea, never been there but the southern part of the Republic I'm quite good at from vacations.
Something I noticed a few years ago is that maps that used to use county borders for orientation no longer do so, it's gone to Motorways. That confuses me 'cos we only have 1 in East Anglia (the M11, and bits of A1(M) I suppose). There were only Ms 1-6 when I learned to drive and I don't know these new ones.
Caithness? Whereabouts, I grew up in Thurso, left with family at fifteen then Essex for three years and then Hampshire pretty much ever since.
Good evening from South Lincolnshire.
On the Tri county state lines of Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.
Near Bourne? Excellent motor racing connections there -- ERA, BRM, Pilbeam.
