Please adopt Essex

[Roger Chatterton]

Can't think why not, I'll just go and ask her.

 

[Womble]

I vote we let them in, but only if they organise a ride or two with some lanes and fords

Oh dear - have I just thrown down the gauntlet to Mr Fanum, the Fordmeister

 

[Noddy made me]

Would it not be simpler just to rename Essex ( by deed poll or something ?)
Just simply change the name to one of the above and hey presto

Add Essex

Hi MOnty,

Glad you feel the same as I. I suggested the same some months ago and received some flack.

For those uninformed here are some facts about Essex.

We have the oldest recorded town - Colchester.
We have the gate way to the world. -Stansted Airport.
We have Dedham famous for Constable paintings.
We have a large international port - Harwich.
We have delightful countryside in the north of the county.
We have one of the largest weekday evening bike meets- Gt Bently Green (Weds). Finchingfield also attracts hundreds of bikers at weekends.
We have one of the largest shopping complexes - Thurrock.
We have a long coastline with many tidal rivers - Thames, Crouch, Roach, Blackwater, Colne, Stour(boundry between Suffolk).
Bird sanctuaries, historic houses, stately homes etc etc.

Go on - Moderator - add Essex to the title of East Anglia.

Safe riding to your all.
Mike

That's all very well, apart from being almost mind-numbingly boring, but let's just look at what you've got to offer...

Who cares how old Colchester is? - tell us how many bike shops & decent pubs it has

Stansted is the gateway to the world??? I've been there and I ended up in Guernsey, anyway I prefer to use the Tunnel

Dedham? Sounds 'ded' (ahem ) boring!

Harwich is a large international port? Big deal. Tell us how cheap the ferries are, how many bike shops & decent pubs it has

Delightful countryside in the north of the county? Oh, southern Suffolk???

Gt Bently Green? Mid-week is fine for locals but what's it like at the weekend???

Finchingfield? Give you that, not a bad little place to watch bikes on a Sunday ...though the price of a cup of tea is outrageous

Thurrock????

Coastline, rivers, bird sanctuaries, historic houses, stately homes...? We've already got some of those


I still vote no

Luckily the poll closed before the kiss of death came along.

Hmmm... maybe it was your approach and the fact you may have come across as a bit abrasive?
