Re: The A-Z Challenge
Useless info alert! I got offered the contract to paint the boxes from about Newcastle down a few years ago. Turned it down as it would of been a right faff.TomBoyNI wrote:The paint bucket tool in photoshop would help with that, or even a real paint bucket (thumbs)Mad Cow wrote:Just a query but I note T - Telephone box has to be red or green i.e. an old Sir Giles Gilbert Scott designed one rather than a new stainless steel/glass jobbie,

While we're on photoshop, etc. why not just plot a sticker somewhere in the image later!?

Sorry to be dumb but
1) what's a keystone for letter K?
2) will the cathedral hill in Lincoln suffice for M :silly: as the regions highest peak?
Cheers

In Lincoln that's probably as high as you get isn't it?

Re: The A-Z Challenge
The use of the word "Region" is a bit confusing as since 2013 the Government Abolished the old regions in England:
South East
London
East of England
South West
West Midlands
East Midlands
North West
North East
Yorkshire and Humberside
They were replaced with 4 administrative areas:
North (North West, North East and Yorkshire & Humberside north of the Humber)
Central (West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England and Yorkshire & Humberside south of the Humber)
South (South East and South West)
London
So I'm guessing highest point in County would do for England?
Not so sure about the rest of the British Isles?
But these might help

When I wrote region, I was simply thinking Scotland, Wales, England, Islands, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Spain, France, Germany...Mad Cow wrote:The use of the word "Region" is a bit confusing as since 2013 the Government Abolished the old regions in England:

That way it wasn't a case of the highest point in a county, it was generally going to be one of the peaks, but it kept things open for people living off the UK mainland, and even meant it was open to everyone, anywhere

Re: The A-Z Challenge
Hmm, interstng for the rest of us non-Uk types:
"Region (Europe)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the political entity.
The European Union created a Committee of the Regions to represent Regions of Europe as the layer of EU government administration directly below the nation-state level. The Committee has its headquarters in Brussels.
Reasons given for this include:
the historic and cultural claims for autonomy in many regions all over the EU
strengthening the political and economic situation in those regions
The term 'region' as used here includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which are non-sovereign countries, referred to as separate countries, even though collectively they form the country known as the United Kingdom they are recognised as countries by the UK Government and are not referred to as regions.
Some nation states which have historically had a strong centralized administration have transferred political power to the regions. Examples of this include the devolution of power in the UK (the Scotland Act 1998, the Government of Wales Act 1998) and the current negotiations in France concerning increased autonomy for Corsica. Some other states have traditionally had strong regions, such as the Federal Republic of Germany or the autonomous communities of Spain; yet others have been structured on the basis of national and municipal government with little in between."
So you know who to blame ... :whistle:
