South Norwood Tourist Board 
Tha’s lakin’ wi’ me surely.
South Norwood? Lakes?
Nowt but puddles!
There is only I Lake District and that’s in Cumbria, no contest leave it alone, one of our great tourist attractions, is the South jealous? I think so!!!!!!!
Oi, you southern softies shud tek a look int’ dictionary. Both t’ Oxford English and t’ Collins define meres and tarns as lakes.
So we ev around 80+ lakes. You have tan, that’s yan mer than yan.
I do so hope you now understand.
Surely this is an April fools joke, Croydon is a concrete jungle that would have made East Berlin look like the Cotswolds, good luck in promoting the South Norwood lakes but i suspect your fighting a losing battle as i am sure some dictionary somewhere defines a lake as a cess pit !!!
What you really need is to get David Attenborough down to one of your lakes and get him to confirm that he’d seem something swimming about in said lake that looked like a prehistoric creature (a rather foogy/out of focus photo would help here) and bingo your tourist industry is up and running
The word lake in Lake District is singular therefore only one lake is required. Clearly you can be Lakes District.
And what lovely lakes they are too!
South Norwood ‘Fake’ is a reservoir, does that mean if I dig 3 holes in my garden I can claim the title back?
Alreet fella? … howst garn’on? … like Ypres said in’t post he med, tha’s nobbut tan lakes in yon spot and gay lar’l they are an’all. No fells or nowt like that. Lake District has ’em all.
Translation: Hello my fine fellow. Well met, I trust? As a previous poster intimated, you seem to have two articifical water ways tied with the epithet “lake” and they appear to be quite small, to boot. There is a singular lack of any mountainous region. The Cumbrian Lake District can boast a plethora of both throughout.
Oh. A couple of lines that I thought might help your Poet with his “ode”.
Forsooth, I note that Cumbria,
The Land of Fell and Lake,
Has only one real waterway, whence their title it doth take,
In Norwood there are two such, each small but each sublime,
Where boaters, fishers, walkers, do take their leisure time,
South Norwood may not be as fine as Cumbrian delights,
But it’s fairly close to London with it’s heady days and nights.
So if you start to wonder which is best for heart and soul,
South Norwood or old Cumbria, which makes you feel more whole,
And wonder “what’s the fuss about?”, the one that you all hear,
Just get the 9:15 from Euston, and go to Windermere.
