Corkickle Brake[edit]

The text states that the "Corkickle Brake" serving a chemical works at Whitehaven, Cumbria, the last commercially operated standard gauge cable railway in the British Isles. The text should use the term United Kingdom, as this is the area in which it operated - using cross-country jurisdiction comparisons is confusing and unnecessary. It implies that a "British" railway in the "British" isles is a natural region of operation and a single jurisdiction - which is incorrect (in 1986), and is the reason why on Wikipedia, the consensus is that the term should only be used in a geographical context. Why use a geographical term for a cultural/industrial article anyway? It is more appropriate to use a geopolitical term - so chose from either "United Kingdom", "Britain", or "British Islands". --Bardcom (talk) 12:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
