General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Ta all for the replies! Surprised no one's got anything in the town centre they're proud of! i'm not a fan of that face sculpture either tbh.

Tonker,

'The new county boundaries are administrative areas, and will not alter the traditional boundaries of counties, nor is it intended that the loyalties of people living in them will change despite the different names adopted by the new administrative counties.'
Government Statement Quoted In The Times 1st April 1974

Never mind the fact that the Royal Mail still marks my mail LANCS.

If you have to be represented by a government body to officially live in a named area, then none of us live in England. No one lives under any English government control, there's no English council, assembly or government, yet no one says England doesn't exist. I don't live under any Lancashire government control, but I still live within Lancashire. Blackpool is a unitary authority these days, is that not a Lancastrian town either now? The Government and Royal Mail agree with me, so I'm happy to say I'm a Lancastrian!


Don't confuse geographical entities with administrative ones!
