It was you that mentined Fev, Cas and Waky.

The connection.

No one knows as
Wakefield has never been a County and has always been in Yorkshire.

Unlike Cumbria that has Barrow in it when it took over from Lancashire nearly 4 decades ago.

Oh - it's Yorkshire, now, is it ? Not West Yorkshire. I see.....

There is no West Yorkshire Council. Wakefield council empty the bins round here.

Just a council name. Not a place. Plenty of folk on this thread agreeing with me - there's a real dichotomy of opinion. It's not my fault if you're gullible enough to believe the spin of self-serving, pompous councillors.

Where did I mention anything to do with West Yorkshire Council?

Your making things up and arguing against your own inclusions and then trying to make out someone else has said it, can you actually read correctly.

Yes Wakefield has always been in Yorkshire which would include the original West Riding and the current West Yorkshire, not too hard to understand.

You know someone asks you where you are from and you say Wakefield or Halifax in YORKSHIRE or West Yorkshire.

Likewise in 2013 if asked would the person say they were from Sheffield in the West Riding of Yorkshire or would they may say Sheffield, YORKSHIRE or South Yorkshire.
No one would mention in normal day to day living the West Riding.
Is a big explanation really neccessary, it's like pulling teeth.

What is the obsession with bin men, you seem to mention them a lot.

Cumbria is just a name and not a place.

Look on any map for the north west above Lancashire and tell me what it says in big letters, Cumbria the place or County.

Strange how my sat nav can take me to anywhere in Cumbria but it's not a place and I shouldn't believe it

I have several maps where I can get the same information from and I shouldn't believe them.

How silly of me not to ask a pompous councillor for what something is called and directions on how to get there, I never thought of that.

How do you actually manage to get from place to place, refer to the medieval travellers guide.

Pompous councillors.

This seems another obsession, slagging off anyone associated with councils, we've had bin men, road workers and now pompous councillers.

Have you had a nasty experience with local authorities at sometime?

It goes without saying that everyone on here agrees with everything you say all the time.

I can see the dichotomy within it all.

Bottom line and to cut through smoke screen, garbage and the circles that you try and run round in to cover up your inabilty to accept that.

Barrow is in Cumbria and not Lancashire FACT and nothing you can say or do can change it.

I can also see how this thread has been hijacked and I will not be doing it again, you can have all the credit for that, i'm sure you will have overwhelming agreement and support again. Bye

Faxcar. I suppose you agree with that most obnoxious of names Calderdale? Ask anyone outside The WEST RIDING where it is and I bet they wouldn't have a clue.

Aww, he just likes to disagree with me, Hudd-Shay. It's become a matter of principle.

I disagree.

It's more a question of correcting your frequent mistakes.

And really there is no need to thank me.

Re: League table/bonus point. : Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:02 pm  

I know where Calderdale is and Barrow and Leigh.

Course when I was a young lad I realised things change.

Leigh won the Challenge Cup in 1971 as they did in 1921 and will do again in 2021.

I never mentioned Calderdale and neither agree or disagree with the name, truth is I never give it a thought.

Having done so for a moment or two now, I can see why it was chosen for the area with it having the river Calder running through it.

It is consistent with other areas similarly named, Airedale, Nidderdale etc.

Out of interest what would you have called the area as an alternative?
Does it upset you in some way.?

I'm just really glad it didn't have the river Griff flowing through.

"Griffdale",Ahhhg.

I would have to strongly object to that.

As to people from outside the West Riding knowing of it's existence I can't give an accurate answer as I am not aware of a survey being undertaken on the subject.

I suppose it would depend on number of factures, such as if they had ever visited the place,worked in the place, have relatives there, ever seen it on the news etc.

In that sense it will be no different from a thousand other places that are unknown outside of their immediate locality.
If I needed to find out where it was I would look on a map or do a google.

Wiki says.Calderdale." The Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale is a metropolitan borough of West Yorkshire, England, through which the upper part of the River Calder flows, and from which it takes its name."

If I needed to find out where Barrow is.

Wiki says. "Barrow-in-Furness, (/ˈbæroʊ ɪn ˈfɜrnəs/; commonly known as Barrow) is a large industrial town and seaport in the county of Cumbria, England."

Easy really and quite clear.

Faxcar, perhaps Huddshay and Griff are one and the same or at least engaged.
