The map appears to include west and south Yorkshire which are not in the north east, and omits Northumberland which is.

I suspect the point is that wherever the arrows are pointing, it's *not Yorkshire*...

Does the site no longer automatically display long urls shortened ?

The DJHawks one did not shorten.

I don't think they do, Gromit.

People were cutting and pasting the shortened ones and they weren't working because the ellipsis ... appeared in the middle of it.

Desolate: unoccupied, barren, solitary. This was the definition that was meant, but that doesn't make a good news story does it. A lot of the North East of England is 'desolate' moorland, large forests and areas of outstanding natural beauty, so to be 'affronted' by that description of 'desolate' displays a lack of knowledge of what the NE of England is really like.

DJHawkes,

Those 'smudges' are boat loads of illegal immigrants. The top boats are Somali Pirates.

more definitions (from Google): without friends, hope, or encouragement; forlorn, wretched, or abandoned, gloomy or dismal; depressing.

The noble lord should look at all the meanings before shooting his mouth off.

jno -thats just what the papers are looking for nit picking for a non-story. -Many words have different meanings -even double meanings. IN CONTEXT of what he was saying he was referring to the fact that the North East of England was less inhabited and potentially more suitable for Fracking. Well over my dead body, buts that for a different thread..:-)

Its nice of the map maker to bring The Orkney and Shetland Isles South bit.
Makes 'em feel more cosy.

How can he call Lancashire desolate?. Doesn't he know about the rejuvenation of Old Trafford (where Yorkshire has been given several good frackings .

DJHawkes there are some beautiful places in the NW and NE of England. Southerners are 'outraged' at the desolate remarks because I'm sure they think the North is full of Satanic Mills and Mines and think Howell should not be disrespecting us poor people who have to live in all this desolation.. :-)

Blime Ed!

What happened to Shetland and Orkney?

Looks like the black puddin' farmers have attached a rope to them and are attempting to 'alf inch them!

Someone should be told!
