Love that site. Have you ever been to Cleethorpes and Grimsby? Grimsby is the word, its on Humberside, where no man should ever have made his home. I remember going when I was a kid: the castle's a fake, the donkeys are suicidal and the Humber smells of rotten fish and burning plastic. Eeeuuww. Incidentally, it's neighbour, Hull, just featured at number one in a book entitled Crap Towns: The 50 Worst Places To Live In The UK

to pick an obvious nit, King Canute was neither English (well, it's all a bit fluid isn't it but he was Viking) nor overcome with vanity, he was trying to prove to his courtiers that nature was not at his command, hence the business with the wet ankles... which I'm sure you all know cos of the big braininess and mighty google-fingers, okay, shutting up now
