A question to test your port knowledge

[Alex Bridgeman]

Today, I encountered a sign which made me decide to pose this question.

Who describes themselves in their promotional material as "Britain's Premier Port"?

Sothampton docks according to google!

Not only Southampton..

Felixstowe is where I saw the sign. I haven't been to Southampton recently, but when I was last there I thought it was describing itself as "Britain's Largest Port". Perhaps something that JDAW is aspiring to charge.

This is a very dangerous thread as it may result in geeks with an unhealthy interest in sea ports finding our site via google - can you imagine what this place would be like if it were to be overrun with geeks?

Is the answer Cockburn? *

* I know the answer isn't Cockburn, I'm trying to confuse the geeks so that they leave us alone

I've had a bottle of Felixstowe Port and can confirm that it is pretty darned good in comparison with the Southampton double magnum.

Does this help, Derek?

That should do it

And you can't beat the Port of London - very tasty...

I could mention Port of Leith, but it qualifies on both counts so I won't risk it

Never tried that; I always preferred London Porter.

Should this now been consigned to MD?
