Cumbria is under rated.

We've got the highest mountain in England. The deepest lake. We build trident subs. We've got nuke waste. We've got stone circles, sheep, and pie and peas. I love it round here. Our accent is a bit shite but never mind. Come visit! Bring moccasins.

 

i like cumbria

don't worry though i have a welsh accent.

 

Lies, ALL LIES! There is no such place! Cumbria was invented to scare the kiddies!

 

Welsh have some mystical Arthurian links don't we? Also wasn't Wales and Cumbria a part of the Viking kingdom of rheged? Hello my mystical welsh Viking brother.

 

I might make things up as I go by the way. Did you know that we invented the pole vault? In ulverston I think.

 

I thought we invented Cumberland wrestling. You know...men in tights and all that.

 

I had to look up exactly where Cumbria was. I had some vague sense it involved the Lake District and was north-westish. I'm British, living in England. I'm sorry. :tongue:

 

Are there Cumbrian cheeses? Nowhere is really worth mentioning unless there's cheese.

 

Dont think i've ever been up that far north, I get scared off by the accents a bit. The only thing I know about Cumbria is that Sellafield is there...periodically leaking toxic radioactive stuff into the Irish sea!

 

Yep! We all glow green at night in 'assa marra' land...but we do have cheeses.

 

What kind of cheeses are we talking? Some nice goat cheeses? This is a deal breaker.

 

Here you are finger mouse, found this on a cheese website.....
Then we've got the Lake District Cheese Company who cater for those that want a cheddar cheese, and Appleby Creamery*who in October 2009 picked up*threee national cheese awards.**Their ‘Eden Valley Organic Brie' received a silver medal in the ‘British Cheese Awards' and a ‘Highly Commended' in the ‘Soil Association Awards 2009. ‘Eden Chieftain' also picked up a bronze award.......

Looks like Cumbria is awesome for cheese. Should get yourself up here and go on a cheese crawl. Bring some wellies.

 

Also, we have the worlds biggest liar competition at santon bridge. I'd love to go to it and spin a massive yarn. Might start working on some material. Could try it out on you lot and see if I'm up to scratch.

 

Sounds like a plan!

 

i'm not really interested.

 

okay, the guy left - that was a joke... about being a liar

oh never mind... :mickey:

 

Who left? I'm still here.....or am I? Anyway guess what. It's red hot round here today! It's hotter than satans favourite dildo and it's only ten in the morning. I'm gonna put on some lynx Africa deodorant, my tiny tempah nhs specs, and I'm going to moonwalk everywhere. Cha,mone! Come come come to Cumbria, we've got cheese and lambs and bra's. And a greggs. Shhhhhhh.

 

Crikey. I logged in thru my iPad and answered using my birds account. Meh. I'm putting a lock on this thing. I might smear dog shit all over it as well to make her think twice about using it. Right then. I'm off for a ham shank in the sun. Ciao.

 

Haven't been there in a long time as i moved down south, from Lancaster, a long time ago, but the lake district is a very beautiful place. Just watch the Wainwright Walks with Julia Bradbury. :2thumbsup:

 

I have some questions about Cumbria.

1. What does Cumbria smell like?
2. Are there pigs in Cumbria?
3. What is the political economy of Cumbria?
