Bit flat innit. It'd be enough to send Cumbrians over the edge. I mean if there was an edge & you couldn't see to infinity over east.
Really? I though XL Cheese were pretty much only available / liked by Cumbrians & even then only out of patriotism.
Might make a difference now that Cumberland is the unitary LA? So West Cumbrians all within one authority, rather than split between Allerdale and Copeland.
Dave Myers ( RIP ) & Grace Dent are the only Cumbrians I can think of on telly.
This pleases me. From this week's New Statesman. (sent to me by my Dad, who swears he didn't send this in).
I was thinking, oof, terrible accents, then I thought, well, who knows what 14th century Cumbrians sounded like?
Like, as an example: if you have a Welsh "civilisation", a Scottish "civilisation" and an English "civilisation" in your game, which one best represents the Cumbrians of Ystrad Clud?
As George Macdonald Fraser noted of his postwar experience in the Gordons, there were Aberdonians and Deessiders among the NCOs and men but there were also Glaswegians and Scousers and Borderers and Cumbrians.
most of the characters here are Norse or Norse-Gael but the vikings called the the island in the middle Kumreyjar: island of the Cumbrians so for my story I have it ruled by a vicious Brythonic speaking lord holding out against Viking incursions
