Norfolk Broads - new name!!!!!!

[crankedup]

Having just read that the so called Authorities are to re-name the Norfolk Broads, 'Britains Magical Waterland' seems crass and ridiculous. Is it just me or is the new name conjuring up images of some sought of disney funfair completely unrelated to what the 'Broads' is all about?

News to me. It's sounds incredibly stupid, even for a council idea, though.

I'm sure in the EDP a few months back that there was a futue plan to create a "DISNEY" type tourist area albeit without Mickey Mouse, but conference suites etc to attract tourism etc.

The thing is there is one major land owner in that area so the process could be a lot simpler.

Secondly, tourism as a government policy as encouraged as it boosts local economy!

To what scale it will end up as is another thing!

This is just one small box that has been ticked in a very long process!

I read the item in the Daily Telegraph, seems to me that Cameroons 'Big Society'has an way to go at the moment. We need to attract more tourists so lets begin with conjuring up an bloody stupid new name which is completely at kilter with the area what an shower of fkwits

Tragic isn't it. These people should stick to counting paperclips and watching the clock to 3.00pm when they go home.

What a load of old wk - How many penpushers, formfilling and thinktanks did that need?


Same as 'Norwich a fine city' whats the new one? Anyone? Nope.

Waits for cry of "foul" to be raised in parliament from MPs representing the Lake District

Where did they get the 'magical' bit from? Nothing magical about a load of smelly peat bogs filled with big fibreglass bathtubs full of northerners.

That's ok, non of the locals can see them as they have eyes that don't point in the same direction!
