    To misquote Oliver Hardy 'here's another fine mess you've got me into....'

    Is the Champ's Henry James feeling like a prize chump after writing about Stan Laurel as a 'Cumbrian comic'?

    Mind you, he's in good company - there was uproar after an episode of Foyle's War ('War of nerves') spoke of a witness who had 'gone to Cumbria'.

    For Henry's information, Cumbria only came into being in 1974 - much to the disappointment of many living in places like Barrow, Grange over Sands and parts of the Lake District - they felt their enforced move with sadness as much as anyone in Southport after the new look Merseyside was created in April 1974...

    Roger Blaxall are you unable to do any research before you make yourself look like a complete bufoon. The 1974 Administrative District of Cumbria was taking in CUMBerland, Westmoreland and parts of North Lancashire and North Yorkshire. In ancient times Cumbric was the language of the Cumbrian region (Cumberland). The Cumbrian Fells in Cumberland were visited in the time period Foyle's War is set. True Stan Laurel was a Lancashire born comedian but describing his Birth Place today would be described as Cumbrian. Cumbria as a descriptive name for the area that became Cumberland was used as early as the 10th century.

    Stick to cars pal I'm sure your knowledge of Austin A30's is imperious.
