[Albion] Top South Coast Club

It's on an estuary, not the sea - plus the city is upstream of where the Itchen meets the test, so arguably not even on the estuary. I'd say no, not a coastal city

It's not an estuary, it's a ria.

I shouldn't be such a smart arse this early in the morning. I have a whole day of Mr Cockup ahead of me, I suspect

I sincerely hope you’re not going to write to anyone called Clint - the consequences could be disastrous.

That's new for me. interesting. So is it on the coast or not by a 'ria' definition?

It's not an estuary, it's a ria.

Isn't a ria a flooded estuary?
Incidentally does that make Cardiff a Dai ria?

A ria is a coastal inlet formed by the partial submergence of an unglaciated river valley. It is a drowned river valley that remains open to the sea.

This is a term I hadn't heard of before-, which is great because now I can honestly say that I have spent the last 30 minutes bettering myself educationally, rather than wasting my time reading NSC- aint football grand!
