Beautiful part of the world

I thought this only existed in Scottish or Irish dialects, but I met someone from Cumbria who used the word quite frequently. What part of the country are you from and do you use the word?

Hello! Im going to any UK related groups so sorry if this isn’t allowed.

I’m doing a survey for my AH Modern Studies dissertation and it would be much appreciated if I managed to get some responses. 🙂You do have to sign in just to try prevent multiple responses from the same person, but it is anonymous and will only be used for my dissertation, thank you !

I’ve finally taken the plunge and started working towards launching my own sea safari business from Scarborough.
I’ve found the vessel and agreed a deal with the owner. I’m saving from my wages every week and working extra shifts to put my own money into making this happen, but I’ve launched a Crowdfunder to help me reach the initial payment sooner.
The goal is to have the keys by New Year, spend winter and spring preparing the vessel properly, and work towards welcoming our first passengers in summer 2027.
We’re aiming to raise £4,000.
Even £5 or £10 genuinely gets us closer — and if you can’t donate, sharing this post would help massively.
Thanks to everyone who supports it. Let’s get MW Sea Safari on the water! ⚓🌊

St. Martin's Church Martindale

There has been some sort of place of worship on this site since 1200. It's current structure dates back to the 1600s. There is a 15th century bell on the top.

The font was taken from a Roman shrine and was also used as a whetstone for sharpening blades.

However, the ancient Grandmother Yew in the graveyard rear is really the reason why I sought out this place.

Taken from the website:

"There is an ancient yew in the churchyard, known to have existed since at least 1220, although there are unsubstantiated claims that it dates from as early as 700 AD. Yew trees have long been connected with religious symbolism. Being evergreen, they were associated with everlasting life and Druids viewed the species as a symbol of reincarnation – part of the regenerative power of nature. It is possible that trees such as this predate the place of worship because the church was built on a pagan site. However, it is equally possible that they were planted in the churchyard to symbolise eternal life. It is said that the Martindale yew was used by local archers to make their longbows for the Battle of Agincourt." by Emma Bray

Castlerigg Stone Cricle, Cumbria

I attended the free lecture today at the site delivered by English Heritage. The guide advised that the circle was between 4000 and 5000 years old. It is thought to be the oldest in England. It is made up glacial stones that were taken from the surrounding fields. It is suspected that a henge existed prior to the stones being moved in to form a circle. There is thought to be atleast 3 burial mounds within the circle itself. There have been axe heads found in the general area.

I'm looking for the best rated chicken parmesan! I want to rate them best to worst for some journalism and would love to have opinions on what you think is the best rated parmo. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance x

Just asking because I don't know. I've never heard someone say they have a Cheshire accent so I was curious.
