so who put the "unth" in Scunthorpe?
FWIW "thorpe" in any place name (on the eastern side of the UK) can mean "church" - every settlement had a church.
Humberside? Humberside? so who recognises the existence of (call me a pedant) South Humberside? Not those living in the East Riding - gadzooks that would acknowledge the fact of North Humberside and that never could be - there are too many Kingstonians on this here Mudcat we would be outnumbered if we dared whisper it's name........
