A few weeks ago someone posted a link to a folk radio station - I think in Portland. I can't remember who posted it or the name of the station. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Ricahrd.

There is only one original one. Which does not need to be specified (rather like the lines of THE Open Golf Championship).

So all imitation and later named colonial Portlands do need to specify where they are to avoid confusion with the one and only original.

STRONG LANGUAGE THERE AMERGIN.ENQUIRER DID EXPRESS SOME DOUBT RE PORTLAND ? AND IN VIEW OF THIS COULD HARDLY BE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE LOCATION SPECIFICS ABOUT SOMETHING ON WHICH HE WAS FUNDEMENTALLY UNCERTAIN.THAT DOUBT IS EVEN MORE COMPOUNDED WHEN YOU TAKE ON BOARD THAT THE LOCAL ARCHIVAL RECORDS OF MARATIME NAVIGATION AND CONQUESTS STORED IN THE MUSEUM VAULTS OF PORTLAND CASTLE, PORTLAND,PORTUMNA ,CO GALWAY IRELAND, WHICH NOT ALONE AMPTLY DEMONSTRATE BUT ALSO IRREFUTABLY PROVE BEYOND ANY DOUBT THAT PORTLAND CO GALWAY IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SUBSEQUENT POOR IMITATORS AND DETRACTORS."THE SHAMBLES" ,IN HIS PROFOUND WISDOM AND POLITIC FORESIGHT , DID NOT MENTION THIS LOCATION OR FACT BECAUSE, NO MORE THAN MY-SELF HE COULD NOT BEAR TO SEE ALL OF THOSE FOURTH GENERATION IRISH/PORTLANDIANS FROM OREGON,MAINE,UK,& OZ RETURN TO THE SOIL OF THEIR FOREBEARERS JUST FOR A BIT OF THE OLD SOD.IF THAT WERE TO BE THE CASE THIS BEAUTEOUS GALWAY SHANNONSIDE VILLAGE WOULD BE FOREVER CALIFORNICATED. SO LETS KEEP IT OUR SECRET !!!TA GO MHAITH AGUS NI RAGHBHID GO HOLC

I have found on Portland a shaped chert (flint) point that has been expertly dated to the Palolithic period.

Clearly scratched into it are the words 'made in Portland Dorset'.

THIS REEKS OF SUSPICION.!WHY WAS IT NECESSARY TO REFER TO DORSET AT ALL IF,AS IS CLAIMED, THERE WAS THEN ONLY ONE PORTLAND?IT WOULD SEEM THAT "DORSET" WAS LATER ADDED TO THE INSCRIPTION IN ORDER TO OBFUSCATE THE TRUE ORIGIN OF THE CHERT.I HAVE JUST NOW HELD COUNCIL WITH THE EMMINENT PROF. DE SELBY KEEPER OF ARTEFACTS AT NEWGRANGE.AFTER MUCH RESEARCH HE HAS UNEARTHED SOME HEADLINES FROM NEWS MEDIA OF THE DAY ,IN PARTICULAR "THE PALOLITHIC OBSERVER" AND I QUOTE FROM THE REGIONAL NEWS SECTION-- "MARAUDERS OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN LAY SIEGE TO PEACEFUL SHANNONSIDE VILLAGE---.PORTLAND AWAKES THIS MORNING TO SCENES OF CARNAGE AND DESOLATION -- PRECIOUS CHERTS AND MANY STATE OF THE ART UTENSILS STOLEN --MAUREDERS ROUTED AND FLEE FOLLOWING BRAVE OFFENSIVE BY PORTLAND NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH"AT THAT TIME THE UK AND IRL WERE CO-JOINED FORMING ONE LAND MASS THE EXACT SHAPE OF A SAUSAGE.IT IS PROF DE SELBYS THEORY THAT THE MARAUDERS
FLED EASTWARDS LEAVING BEHIND THEM SOME OF THE BOOTY IN OVERNIGHT      SITES.MANY SUCH CHERTS HAVE BEEN FOUND ON EASTWARD    EXCAVATIONS BETWEEN GALWAY AND WEXFORD ON THE S,E IRISH COAST AND REMARKABLY "MADE IN PORTLAND " IS THE ONLY INSCRIPTION YET FOUND.INTRPOL FILES OF THE DAY WOULD SUPPORT THIS SMOKE-SCREEN ADD IN DORSET THEORY
