Lots of Westmorland flags on Market St in Kirkby Stephen this morning

Thought it would be interesting to have a bit of fun with a daily poll pitting the flags of the northern counties against each other to end up with an overall champion northern county flag.

I've used flags of the historic counties, which will split the powerful Yorkshire vote, as well as well as the no longer used Greater Manchester flag, the Cumbria community flag and the Merseyside flag.

Because there's only 12 flags Cheshire, Durham, Northumberland and Lancashire get a bye.

Will post the first poll in the morning.

Why does the Cumberland flag so often get used for Cumbria and how did such an error manage to perpetuate to the point a local clothing shop have released a “Cumbria flag” cap using the colours and imagery of the Cumberland flag?

Had this quote for an 18 panel system. Not the cheapest quote I’ve had (also not the most expensive) but the only installer who quoted in person and they concluded they’d get 2 more panels on than I had in mind which does close the gap to most quotes.

Edit: forgot to add my roof is slate. One aspect only being installed.
