Maybe you need to say Kincardineshire which was something else when it existed? |

Not sure if its relevant but Luton should be somewhere in Lancashire rather than plopped right in the stockbroker belt.

Is there a noticeable difference? No pies in Hades. It also has better bus stations. |

Not sure if its relevant but Luton should be somewhere in Lancashire rather than plopped right in the stockbroker belt. Agree. Although Reading today is similar to Luton 30 years ago. It could go the same way demographically. Slough doesn't really fit with Berkshire and neighbouring Buckinghamshire. Peterborough is quite different to the rest of Cambridgeshire and Northants of which it used to be a part. Although I suppose Hayes & Harlington nearby and Luton are demographically similar. |

Nobody wants Slough, although it does make more sense for it to be in Buckinghamshire as the Thames separates it from Berkshire. |

The Reading seats and Wycombe could get better for Labour owing to demographic change, although I'd be surprised if Labour actually took Wycombe.
The MK seats are quite diverse although not on a Luton or Slough level.

Slough makes sense if you treat it as an extension of ealing/hounslow/H&H. |

Was anyone in Sussex confused by the old Sheffield Park constituency? No more than men of Kent confused by any of the Leeds constituencies. This reminds me of the American Doctor Who fan who wanted to see Leeds Castle (where Tom Baker story The Androids of Tara was filmed). He turned up at Leeds train station and hired a taxi. |

In America, the distance between Leeds station and Leeds Castle wouldn't seem anything out of the ordinary.  |

(ahem ...) Dragging ourselves back on topic, I'd like to nominate the double-member constituency of East Somerset as it existed 1868 - 1885. See the map here www.visionofbritain.org.uk/maps/sheet/bc_reports_1868/Somersetshire_1868It's the version outlined in red. It is quite clearly a north Somerset constituency; labelling it 'east' is absurd. The blue boundary, incidentally, shows the version of the seat as originally set out in the 1867 Reform Act, but it was switched to the version in red by the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1868 and this was the form in which the constituency ultimately came into being. The blue (1867) version was even less easterly than the red (1868) version, but it was still called 'east'. In 1885 boundaries were entirely redrawn and a new single-member seat of East Somerset was created, shown in light purple on a map here ukga.org/images/maps/Somerset.jpgWhat's striking is that the seat called East Somerset after 1885 contained not a single square inch of the so-called East Somerset constituency prior to that date. |

The wonderfully named Buckrose. I can remember people still referring to it long after re-naming.
