Ladies in Bolton scared to venture out

You've been to Cas Vegas on a night out then

Been to see Leeds Rhinos v Castleford, when the Leeds players felt wary after being had a go at by a load of Cas Lasses in the bar after the game, big burly RL players that felt safer on the pitch!

Where as Northumbria sees far fewer tourists but is lovely. The emptiness adds to the attraction for me.

Bit like is Cumbria figures for heavily marketed and oversold Lake District or outside that region?

Well a bit different. Lancashire until very recently included a lot lot more. Hence you often see folk, including on here, saying that they were born in lancashire, may still be in the same place,but are not in lancashire now.
Just look at the cultural significance of liverpool and Manchester for instance.

28 million in Staffordshire. Most of them are probably in Cannock Chase in the small hours looking through steamy car windows...

Cumbria has more dogging spots, hence the bigger numbers.

There is only one Vegas, "Staly Vegas"

Nah it’s Cas Vegas and Ponte Carlo

Does Staly Vegas still have the skate board park? Maybe that could be turned into a coliseum!

Tourist visitors to Cumbria in 2018: 47 million.
Care to give us the figure for Hertfordshire?

No because I don’t give a toss

Stereotypes are nonsense.
The southern softies thing always makes me laugh.
Plenty of northerners would go weak at the knees walking through parts of London.

110 million vehicles (each with at least one occupant) drive through Hertfordshire on the M1 every 365 days. That's just one road. For whatever reason, a helluva lot more people travel to, through, and beyond it than Cumbria.

But so what? What does it matter anyway? I didn't realise it was some kind of inter-regional pissing contest.

Well I can safely say Wolverhampton isn't on the Tourist hot spot!

Black Country Museum is the best attraction near hear and even that's in Dudley!

When I worked in London, I was surprised how regions are perceived by various colleagues and even by senior management. In some cases the level of harshness did not come close to the stuff associated with foreigners.

Funnily it was not just the accent and the mannerism, it was hairstyle, dress sense and the beer one drinks.

Within this there was also those that made it very clear they lived in a particular area because of its beauty but had nothing in common with the area or the people.

Even more interesting is that it did not correlate to education or position in the company and if I dare say class or station in life.

It's not drago. Someone with your forensic skills should be able to see where what you interpret as such started.

The channel tunnel is the most popular tourist attraction in Kent.
