Why is Cornwall best?

Oh Sandy, have you never watched a bush tucker trial ?

 

You are getting sooooooo Victor Meldrew!
Get your cheese, send it to me and I'll send you a tenner (plus reimburse your postage). Bet that's the best offer you've had in a week or two, huh!

 

Not nice to suggest Rolf Harris in this
A fun thread folks

 

???? Why not? He made a mockery of himself

Well, *I* thought it was funny (as did a couple of other posters )
Oh, ok! Apologies to any and all kangeroos out there he may have tied down.
Better now?

 

On the cheese , for a no brainer you can't beat a nice mature Cheddar , we buy Cathedral and its lovely. A nice crumbly Lancashire with fresh onions , or a Wensleydale (Gromit).

 

With Christmas cake!!!!!!!!! *drooling* Roll on Christmas: nom-nom-nom!!!

 

How do we measure the length of the coastline at OS?
We used our Boundary-Line product, an open dataset, which is at 1:10,000 scale and is the scale also used by the Boundary Commission. Comparing the length of English county coastlines using Boundary-Line high-water data, Essex didn’t top the table. Cornwall has the longest coastline (even without including the Isles of Scilly).

1. Cornwall: 1086 km
2. Essex: 905 km
3. Devon: 819 km

 

I found the previous clip on the Ordinance survey site - sod it, I was going to argue for Kent

 

But Kent has got more Oast houses

 

Yup, they knew how to prioritise over ...

















... pasties!

 

Ok ... but ... did they do it in imperial measurements? Because, the last I read, it was a toss up twix Kent and Cornwall (but that was in Imperial measurements) but, overall, Essex pipped the post.

I guess, if Cornwall is measured in metric and Kent is measured in imperial, then, naturally, Cornwall would take the lead. Essex (girls?) would still say it was the "longest"

 

Dunno why I`m bovvered - I came down from Nottinghamshire

 

@HarryS you have forgotten the delicacy from the land of the Lobby Gobblers, Leigh Toaster.

 

Blast! Another immigrant!!!
