Think, but can't remember ... it's because of the oilseed rape that's produced en mass ... and there are masses of bright yellow fields from the flowers of the rape most of the summer (lincolnshire is mainly agriculturally based because it's flat ... and petrochemical/port import/export because it lines the coast)Cool, thanks for the scoop! I'm glad I wasn't too off base, I try as hard as possible to be on point in some manner with UK geography b/c I'm a dork and like maps and all that jazz. So was Humberside the seaside town that they eventually didn't forget to shut down, hence Armageddon inevitably came? In a way, that makes me sad, but I know you grew up there and must feel differently. I could care less if a nuclear missile was aimed at my hometown, just so long as the people that I love were safe. Naw, I don't really mean that, but I don't have much love for where I grew up either. Why is the pet name Yellow Belly? Is it fishing or something? or is that too obvious? Anyway, I'm sure your accent is loverly, don't let anyone else tell you otherwiseIn the US, people tend to freak out over them (in a good way). My husband is always flabbergasted by the praise he receives, since he's so use to some run of the mill "BRUMMIE'S 'TAWK LYKE DIS URRR ARRRR" jab. So, if you ever have made or plan to make it stateside, it would work in your favor for sure.
