Your Vote is Needed

[Lady-Bob]

As you have all seen the humourless banter about where Miles thinks Orpington is,

I have decided we need a poll.

Please vote accordingly.

If Orpington is decided to be in London I shall gracefully bow my head to the intellect that is Milesb.

If not, I expect Milesb to bow his head just as gracefully.

Your vote is needed please. and please vote according to your notion as to whether Orpington is in London or in Kent.

[SazzaG]

Yup, definitely in Kent, unless the aliens have moved it...

[psychlist]

Not according to MultiMap :hail: Greater Londinium :D
It's also East of West Drayton and below High Wycombe, allegedly ;)

[Gilps]

It's in Kent obviously, although I heard Kent has been trying to get rid of it for years.

[fatbloke]

they like to think its in Kent but IMO inside the M25 is London

[John k]

Only postcodes which have an SE, NW, EC et cetera are london - anything else is a wanna be, including Croydon!!!!

wrong way round
they want to believe they live in the countryside
not just a suburb of London





I should add this is only my opinion and I'm normally wrong

[MilesB]

For what it is worth, for the purposes of UKMOC boundaries I think the Kent Area should extend to include everywhere south of the Thames and east of Biggin Hill.

Dartford - inside the M25 - outside of London and most definately in KENT

Orpington - ditto

Oh and I'll ride anywhere (including London) if the event and company make it worthwhile ;)

[Gilps]

the M25 is a motorway, not a boundary line. It was built in its current location because that is where it made the most sense to build it, not to separate counties. The county boundaries were there long before the M25. Just because the sprawling mess, sorry mass, that is London has expanded doesn't change the county boundaries. I lived in Kent for several years and loved the countryside around Tunbridge Wells. I can see how the Kenties would want to disown Orpington, Bromley, and Dartford, but I think that they are stuck with them.:mand:

[Lady-Bob]

Orpington is definitely in Kent, I thought all Londoners knew this.

Well it used to be:

"From 1894 to 1934 Orpington formed part of the Bromley Rural District of Kent. The rural district was abolished in 1934 and until 1965 Orpington formed part of the Orpington Urban District. In 1965 the urban district was abolished and its area transferred to Greater London. It became part of the present-day London Borough of Bromley."

So, it's now in Greater London. NOT LONDON.

Lady-Bob your poll is flawed there's no greater London option.

[Chaos Inc.]

By my reckoning it depends which night bus I fall asleep on ie. no idea.

[Albie]

I personally dont give a **** where it is. I recognise it as up the road and not quite in London. Its a trivial matter that is disturbing other Kent members who are not bothered. What about Sheppey or Grain and Thanet they are Isles. We accept all areas on our borders.

I just think its PATHETIC nitpicking

[JMo]

Only postcodes which have an SE, NW, EC et cetera are london - anything else is a wanna be, including Croydon!!!!

I refer you to the gentleman above.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez...

xxx

[fatbloke]

I'm not sure sheppey is even in the UK! I've been there its weird!
ps Grains a peninsula as is Thanet

[benson]

Well I'm not really sure I'm bovvered but having mentioned the names of some weird and wonderful places, including the Isle of Sheppey, I really must mention one of my favourite place names - Thong. There now. Who cares about Orpington when you could live in thong!!!!!

[Albie]

:eek: You could live in PRATT'S BOTTOM which is about 1 mile away from orpington:tgoe:

[benson]

I like that - nearly as good as minge lane and ****ing.
:spin:

[benson]

And my mate Rebeccas was expelled for defacing the sign for Uckfield...
Didn't know the site would ban c0cking....

[gjfevans]

My head office is in St Mary Cray Orpington Kent so I guess its in Kent then

[Darry]

Even the Kent Council say that orpington is not in Kent

http://www.kent.gov.uk/Community/YourNeighbourhood/

But Bromley (London Borough), are happy to accept it!

[gary tompkins]

I would quite like to live in Upper Di cker - or even Lower Di cker come to that

Neither are in Kent BTW :D

[STIVH]

Welsh Farmers visit this place in their droves at weekends - you can see (and hear) them coming for miles!!!!!

No where near Kent or London about an hour from Keswick in the Lake District and not that far either from York. So see you all at the next 'mini' weekender?

[Lady-Bob]

They say C0ckermouth is a nice place!

[squiffything]

Just down the road from us is a six mile bottom.

You try fitting that on a monster gel seat

.....erm Fatbloke i'm not meaning you

[Lady-Bob]
