[On 1 April 1997] Rutland regained a separate lieutenancy and shrievalty, and thus also regained status as a ceremonial county. Rutland was a postal county until the Royal Mail integrated it into the Leicestershire postal county in 1974. After a lengthy campaign,[11] and despite counties no longer being required for postal purposes, [12] the Royal Mail agreed to re-create a postal county of Rutland in 2007. This was achieved in January 2008 by amending the former postal county for all of the Oakham (LE15) post town and a small part of the Market Harborough (LE16) post town.[13]

A not-inconsiderable number of people will tell you they live in Middlesex even though it doesn't actually exist nowadays, speaking of postal counties

iirc Spooky Tooth are one of those bands where I really like the name but don't actually like their music. I can't remember what they sound like, though.

Plus Foreigner and Gary "Dream Weaver" Wright. I always get them confused with Procol Harum, you can see why. Surely their album "You Broke My Heart So ... I Busted Your Jaw" is on the Terrible 70s Album Titles thread somewhere.

Awesome map. I struggle to see how ELP are from Dorset - Greg Lake is from Poole but the other two aren't and their origin is given as Croydon on Wiki.
Replace them with actual Dorset girl PJ Harvey and the SW gets a pretty kick-arse and diverse festival line-up who are all still going: Aphex, Massive Attack, FKA Twigs.

A Cheshire councillor and former mayor were at the centre of a 'Dad's Army' type scene on Remembrance Day as their idea to surprise the village with a 7.8-tonne tank went badly wrong.The two former soldiers have angered the Royal British Legion with their 'embarrassing' gaffe when they 'forgot to put the handbrake on' the army vehicle, causing it to roll back and destroy the village memorial.
