I think I just succesfully persuaded someone on IRC that I lived in the Welsh town of Caerlŷr in Far East Wales (people sometimes assume I am Welsh because of my nick, he asked what part, and I was being silly). Hence new usericon to celebrate, showing location of said town.

I really should stop making up geography as a hobby. There's enough of it already.

I'm sure some Welsh people would be happy at the idea of reclaiming the occupied territories. :)

Just tell them you come from Ratty

Hmmm, is it true the name is derived from the original site of King Lear's castle?

Not that you'd hear any of the old dears referring to the Soar and the Grand Union as the 'Lear Cut'. Or, for that matter, shouting after the Yeomen* 'Ooo shot the pump, Then?

History is dying, if not already dead.

* The Leicestershire Yeomanry are now part of the Anglian Regiment. Bonus marks if you can identify the source of the remark about the 'Pump', though: I haven't heard that in more than 20 years.
