it makes sense that lincolnshire would vote for reform, a party that doesn’t believe in net zero, because if there’s one thing everyone can agree on it’s that lincolnshire being taken by the sea would be a good thing - ThreadSky

I have only been to Lincolnshire once. We stopped at a Burger King next to the first petrol station for 30 miles. They couldn't serve us because "we don't have any buns".

A non-trivial number of voters live at or below sea-level (40% of Greater Lincolnshire land - which admittedly doesn’t vote - according to page 163)

It has got a lot of the best LLM-generated English Place Names though.

I'm always suspicious of a Ville. "Frithville". Really now.

Which is north of Holland so first things first let’s get trade descriptions involved

You're about 3 pixels away from including the village I grew up in on the left there

Did it have a plausible-sounding but improbable name?

curatorconnelly.bsky.social•3 days ago

A relatively normal sounding one: Leasingham. Not like Boothby Graffoe, which is so daft a comedian took it as their stage name

Though I think my favourite Lincolnshire place name might be Spital-in-the-street

I do enjoy the cognitive dissonance of local people who rally against net zero, in area famously reclaimed from the sea, all while asking where all the eels have gone.
