The Guardians are a little late on parade this year, due to putting our all into celebrating.
Have a great day Somerset π

Well done @passionsomerset
Clearly stating the truth, that the unitaries are a PART of the county, and NOT counties themselves.
If only their media teams, broadcast media and others could also grasp this simple fact.

When we say that the media are also to blame, when it comes to perpetuating the narrative that councils are counties, this is an example of what we mean.
North Somerset should NOT be used here, as the story is nothing to do with the local authority.

NEVER a real county, just an (unwanted) local authority, that has been gone now for much longer than it was around.
Ridiculous!
Worth a reminder here, that its replacements are also NOT counties.

Saw this on a letter to my Mum.
Avon??! Really @uhbwNHS ??!
REALLY?? Itβs only been almost THIRTY years since that particular pretend county was happily kicked into touch! π
Weston is in SOMERSET. Then, now, forever!

To media teams in Somerset, broadcast and other.
Too often stories talk about things happening "across the county", or that are "Countywide", when in fact they're "Council wide".
With a little more care, these inaccuracies can stop.

Yikes! π¬
Not only of course should it say Somerset, but the county should come before the UK!

As itβs @wsmrfc's 150th anniversary year, and my late Dad played for the club in the 50s and 60s, I wanted to buy something to mark this. Sad to see that the website of this proud SOMERSET club, displays its address as you see below! Come on Weston, please put this right!

Proof that @metoffice are among those that sadly are no friends of our counties. You do searches for the forecast, and places come up like this in their local authority area, rather than their county. Why Met Office, just why?

Always interested to know about groups like ourselves elsewhere, so a genuine question, about our neighbours to the north.
Apparently it's Gloucestershire Day tomorrow. So is there a group championing that historic county?

Dumb name for a Council, and it turns out a dumb name for the body of water from which the council took it's name!
To translate then, the name of the river that marks the boundary between Somerset and Gloucestershire, is the River River π€

Sadly, it appears Devon and Cornwall got jealous, and decided to send rain to try and spoil Somerset Day.
But we Zummerzet types ALWAYS have the very best Plan B π

Yes, it's OUR day! π
And whilst politicians and the media continue to present false narratives and representations of what is Somerset, we shall continue to tell the truth.

Dear @SomersetWomen,
Not only is tomorrow matchday for you, it is also Somerset Day!
A celebration of all things Somerset, would not be complete without a Somerset victory.
Light the flame within your inner dragon, and bring it home for the county ππͺ

With Somerset Day just 24 hours away, we remind Bristolians, south of the River Avon, that it's their day too. For although Bristol became a "county corporate" in 1373, it remains in the historic counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire.

Indeed many of these areas were still under Somerset governance, as recently as the 1950's. So how about, for example, the residents of Bishopsworth celebrate the day, around their very own Somerset fingerspost, at the junction of Church Road and Grange Road? @BBCRB @bbcsomerset

Hmmmmm! π€
We venture to suggest, that if they were in a village 13 miles south of Exeter, they wouldn't say they were based in Exeter, they'd say Devon. So what's wrong with saying Somerset, when they're in Somerset?

Nearly Somerset Day, so come on, own up!
Who moved Wrington? Last time I checked, it was in northern Somerset, 13 miles south of Bristol.
So, why do these brilliant businesses in the village, make out they're based in Bristol in their advertising?

Just a few days to go before Somerset's big day!
We trust that once again @NorthSomersetC and @SomersetCouncil will be proudly flying the flag.
Can we dare to hope that this year, @bathnes will do likewise, and show some love for the county they're a part of?
