f**k my old birkenstocks, they only got rid of the ribble valley constituency
it changed to "pendle and clitheroe" in the 2024 boundary redraw which isn't nearly as euphonius a constituency name.
there are some cracking contestants in the runners and riders but i'm going for "arundel and south downs" as the heir apparent.
notable mentions in dispatches goes to:
glastonbury and somerton
godalming and ash
amber valley
beverley and holderness
bexhill and battle
bicester and woodstock
grantham and bourne
conversely there is an inverse version of clunky af constituency names:
birmingham hodge hill and solihull north
great grimsby and cleethorpes
luton south and south bedfordshire
and finally, goole and pocklington which sound like two village constables in a pg wodehouse novel.
i need to get out more.
