Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted May 20, 2015 IMO the even bigger, and almost unforgivable, mistake was keeping the binners on the tickets as an option - as if they were ever going to beat us! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted May 20, 2015 Spellings, pronunciations are weird. There''s a place up here called "Brough", pronounced "Bruff". So by that score Middlesbrough should be pronounced "Middlesbruff". Edinburgh would be "Edinburg" and if the way Ipswich is pronounced is correct, then maybe Norwich should be Nor-Wich..............or on the other hand, if "Norridge" is correct, maybe Ipswich should be pronounced Ips-itch. They are a bit irritating, after all.........I think I need to go and do something useful....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smoggy 0 Posted May 20, 2015 Middlesbrough (Listeni/ˈmɪdəlzbrə/ mid-əlz-brə) is a large industrial town situated on the south bank of the River Tees in North Yorkshire, England. The local council, a unitary authority, is Middlesbrough Borough Council. The town is often considered to extend beyond the council boundary into the neighbouring borough of Redcar & Cleveland. Whilst the Middlesbrough council area had 138,400 residents according to the office for national statistics, the Middlesbrough built-up area sub-division[2] had a population of 174,700, which itself is part of the larger built-up area of Teesside and had an overall population of 376,333 at the 2011 census.[2]Middlesbrough was governed by the County Council of the North Riding of Yorkshire until 1889, when it was created a county borough. In 1968 the borough was merged with a number of others to form the County Borough of Teesside, which was absorbed in 1974 by the county of Cleveland. In 1996, Cleveland was abolished, and Middlesbrough became a unitary authority, geographically within North Yorkshire."Erimus" ("We shall be"), in Latin, was chosen as Middlesbrough''s motto when it was founded in 1830, to signify the town''s will to grow. It is used in the names of commercial ventures and other organisations in the town, including social clubs. The town''s coat of arms shows an azure lion beneath two ships to represent the port of Middlesbrough. The design is based on that of the Brus family who owned the site on which Middlesbrough is built...Just saying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
