If you could un-invent one county in the UK.

[DTS]

Who and why?

Personally I would like to get rid of all knowledge of Yorkshire from living memory. The only person that I have ever met from Yorkshire I have liked was Si from Yorkshire Blues. In contrast things I hate about Yorkshire as follows.

* Thick and proud of it.
* How they all go on about how great it is yet cant wait to leave.
* That cake "Parkin"
* The way the all chant "Yorkshire,Yorkshire" in same stupid accent.
* Fashion sense
* The way its so cheap up there.
* Everyone from Yorkshire has manky teeth.

Need I go on. Same could also be said for Humberside.

Anyone else got a county they hate more.

I'll nominate Tyne and Wear purely because of all those Geordies who claim to be the 'best fans in the world' - where were you when you were ****!

I'm in agreement with you here - cannot stand Yorkshire.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Buckinghamshire - what's the point?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Much like Humberside, I'm not Yorkshire any more, but nevertheless I feel the need to defend it.

1. Tim Taylors' Landlord is justification for a county alone. Mmmmm.
2. They do other good beer as well.
3. Matthew Hoggard.
4. It makes me appreciate the weather in the South.
5. It protects us from Scotland.
6. Its not Kent.
7. Err, thats about it

Edit: talking of Humberside, I should have nominated it. Home of Hull, grimmer than Yorkshire, it doesn't even have a cricket team.

Sorry Naps but Kent

Every thing we don't like about Essex but twice as bad/many and its too close.

Garden of England my ****....

And when a bit broke off they floated it over the rver when we weren't looking and called it Canvey

Cumbria as it adds another hour to 90mins on to any road/rail journey I take south! It's only big conurbation is Carlisle which face facts has added no value at all to neither England nor the UK and whose inhabitants tend to resemble those of The League of Gentleman's Royston Vasey!

The best/most picturesque bit of the Lake District could be swallowed up by Lancashire, plus as well if we went the whole hog & amputated Dumfries & Galloway too it would be funny to confuse French tourists and lorry drivers by having Lancashire next to Lanarkshire :D

I was in agreement with you until that last bit Mr Crowe :flamer:

 

[Alec Leamas]

Can I just take out the entire Midlands area and replace with...I don't know...a giant swimming pool with a wave machine or something?

Brummies are just pointless. There's never been a cool Brummie. Ozzy Osbourne doesn't count know that he's started hanging around with Elton John and doing sickening duets with his chunky daughter.

All their football teams are crap and unlikeable, it always rains, they sound stupid and the whole Midlands area just slows you down when you're trying to go somewhere good like Liverpool or Newcastle.

It's rubbish, in short.

Hmmm. I can see why in some places in Kent you can moan, Chatham, Maidstone and such places. But where I live it's fantastic - pretty much crime free, fresh air, good beer, superb pubs, and the Weald has some fantastic views/scenery.

And it takes me less than an hour to get to work, at a cheaper price than
C2C on a better train with better service

Durham. Full of grim northern towns and grim northern people that were extensively smacked for laughing as children.

A weird experiment by God to see what happens when he fills a ****hole full of tossers and forces them to survive by Morrisons, TK Max and JD Sports alone.

 

[chadded]

I'd uninvent Scotland, the largest county in England.

I agree with whole heartedly on that one sir.

Post of the month so far. I know it's only April 3rd, but that will take some beating :D

I'd agree entirely with you, other than its not so much a county as a region. I'm sure the reason DtS didn't pose the question which region would you like to uninvent because it would be such an obvious no-brainer.

Can anyone think of any redeeming feature for the Midlands?

I'm a little ignorant on the counties in that neck of the woods. I think they've got a Warwickshire, haven't they? That'll do for starters, but I'll take the city centre of Birmingham in preference.

The only good thing we've ever got from the Midlands is the four points we collected from our visits to St Andrews and The Hawthorns.

And Jasper Carrot. He was quite funny in his day.

The only plus I can think is from a travel point of view no game is more than 3 hours or so away compared to say us with Sunderland 5/6 hours away.

There's a Brummie MILF sort from Redditch in my office who has 2 lovely "redeeming features", although I'm still in shock after finding out she has a 19 y/o son! She only looks about 36!

And his daughter, she has to be in the Premiership of fit Brummie birds!
