I thought Poole was in Dorset.
Doh! Will correct.
I knew that Geography A – Level would come in handy one day 😉
Glad people are actually noticing the counties. Sadly lots of places I feature don’t seem to be in counties any more (eg Bristol, Newcastle) but new-fangled Unitary Authorities – very annoying!
So many good pubs closing and so many micro-breweries opening up in small shops – regret.
