 Hi there Kerry.

 We are not arguing,  ???  We are debating  :)

Eilleen.
And drinking  ;D ;D ;D  Now drinking I can do!  Perhaps I'll join Lincolnshire after all.

Hi to all you argumentative souls ......... my comment on Lincolnshire (and I'm a true 'yellow belly') was ignored so I don't want to join just wanted to ask what happened to the real ale brewers of Grimsby ..... is Hewitts still at it? ..... I believe they pumped their water straight out of the humber!

The Duke of Wellington (Hewitts Tavern) on Pasture Street, Grimsby used to have a pipeline from the Hewitts Brewery over the road which went from roof to roof leading to the pub, until the brewery closed down and was demolished a few years ago.

Wasn't the Hewitt's trademake/logo a sort of barrel-shaped H?

Hi Eilleen

I dont know where people get the idea that Lincolnshire is flat, only the fen part of Lincs is flat, rest of the county aint. Like to see some of them walk up Lindum Hill or Canwick Hill or even Steep Hill in Lincoln ;D ;D ;D

Now then ...... the wolds stretch from Barton to Spilsby some 40 miles and rise to approx 500ft - Dock Tower is 409ft tall - by comparison the Malvern Hills highest point is Worcestershire Beacon at 425 metres (approx) 1400ft - and hello Ricky I have walked the Malverns and Pen-y-fan which reaches 2907ft ......... so them thar 'hills' of the Wolds are just mere hillocks duck ;D  just a few bumps  ::) ::)  ....... love it or hate it Lincolnshire is still basically flat ............... like them vowels!!!! Flat!   And GeoffE, thanks for reminding me, I once worked at Hewitts .... a favorite haunt was the South Bank Jazz Club at the Riverhead - wow that's a blast from the past .......  so I'm scurrying forward back to the present away from those COLD memories!  :o :o
