‘Cumbria Tourism conceded that it did only have one official lake but insisted it was renowned for its famous tarns, meres and waters.
A spokeswoman said: “They are right. We do only have one lake.”
From today’s Daily Telegraph online.

In the one and ONLY Lake District in Cumbria where i live we have countless Mere’s (as in Windermere etc), a Mere by definition is a lake, pond, or arm of the sea. We also have Waters (as in Coniston Water) Water by definition is a body of water such as a sea, lake, river, or stream. Tarns are another body of water we have in abundance (as in Tarn Howes) a tarn by definition is a small mountain lake . So maybe you should find something better to do with their time and leave the Original Lake District alone, what a bunch of fools youve made yourselves out to be, heres hoping this is just a late April fools
Just where is South Norwood? Nowhere on this web-site is a link explaining where this place is?
I know where The Lake District is, in Cumbria, but where are you? I understand you’re near Crystal Palace, but where is that? Are you near Grimsby? Are your lakes where they catch the fish? No wonder the trawler fleet has disappeared, your lakes don’t seem to be very big.
I think Grimsby has a clock tower, so yes, you must be near Grimsby. Do you smell of fish too? Maybe you could call yourselves The Fish District, you probably have more fish than lakes.
Do you have a Fish and Chip shop? I fancy some fresh fish. What time does it open?
Maybe someone will write a poem about Clouds, Daffodils and Fish; that’s sure to attract visitors!
Toodle-pip!
Norwood is the poor relations of surbton
If this is a publicity stunt, then well done, you got some.
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.
Prior to 1972 the Lake District had NO lakes as Bassenthwaite had not been designated a lake. But this is not new news, it has been known by many for a long time and recently in the last 5 years was on BBC’s QI.
I’m amazed that, in all of this, everyone has overlooked the fact that the word ‘lake’ is the singular form.
‘Lake District’ is a wholly accurate description.

Having moved from Croydon to be nearer a couple of national parks three years ago – including the Lake District – may I suggest SNTB consider seeking national park status. I and tens of others, may be tempted to return. Oh, how I miss Thornton Heath. My only fear is that the million-odd living in Croydon would not welcome the returning horde and subsequent over-population of the newly created national park.
