Darlington!

That's in Doncaster, isn't it.
Of course it isn't. Darlington is in the fair county of Durham.

Doncaster (see below) is an upmarket suburb of York, in the county of Yorkmenistan.

It's in South Yorkshire where the shit begins, anything below Selby and above Darlo and West of Tad is like Mordor 🤷‍♂️
But according to yorkies 'Yorkshire' is God's country, are you saying only part of it is 🤔 what is Hull then 🤣

So you're saying 'Yorkshire' is no longer big enough to be a country in its own right, no longer has a population of approximately 5 million 🤔 it's just a minor county now 👍
It's always been 4 counties unlike Scotchland which has always been just one :)

The Local Government Act of 1974. Cobbled together by Heath's government, ratified by Wilson's short-lived administration and fully implemented by Callaghan.
Killed off many old counties, including the Yorkshire Ridings, Cumberland and Westmorland which became Cumbria (which also pinched a piece of Lancashire) and Rutland which was wiped off the map altogether and swallowed by Leicestistanshire.
All in the name of making it easier for the regime to lever more taxes out of us and reshape constituency boundaries for electoral gain.

My Grandmother was born in Westmorland and she never recognised Cumbria in her life. It was Cumberland and Westmorland. She also had an antique tea tray featuring a map of the Yorkshire Ridings.

Even the Yorkshires Dales national park isn't entirely in Yorkshire. At least a quarter of it is in old Westmorland, now Cumbria. As you leave Kirkby Stephen heading towards Tebay or the (glorious) A683 to Sedburgh, there's a sign on the side of the road welcoming you to "The Westmorland Dales".
 
Scotchland is made up of regions which are regularly fucked about with for governmental control, just like Yorkshire really 😁👍
Scotchland of anything is worse than England for being fucked about with. On some maps and searches Wester Ross exists (and it does on the ground from road signs), on others it's all part of Invernessshire. If you drive into the south west you come to Dumfries and Galloway. On the map you're in Kirkudbrightshire.

The wee pretendy parliament must be incredibly efficient with taxpayers money to have enough spare cash sloshing about to spend on fucking about with regional names and boundaries.
 
Scotchland has a lot of seats in the English Parliament. Mainly because the entire region is divided into constituencies consisting of about fifty people each.

They shouldn't have any seats at Westminster, let alone a disproportionate number of them.

The fucking about was entrenched long before Tony Blair's pretend parliaments happened

Your synopsis would be agreeable to many in scotchland, welshland and norn iron 🤔
 
Parts of it but there are some really nice suburbs. This is the one I live in, Ravenshead.

One of these guys lived a few streets away. Always seemed pleasant enough when I saw him walking his dog. 😬


My neice was at uni in Nottingham.

One day some blokes burst into the house she was living looking for someone that didn't live their. Her flat mate starting scrapping with one of them and a gun went off. Police called etc.

The majority of students live in the really dodgy areas of Nottingham due to cost.

That's like Mrs Ex's Brother House in the Czech National Park - he bought two large plots and built it in the middle of them so he had no neighbours near him.
Was he embarrassed by his appearance, smell, attitude? or did he just enjoy solitude?
