Place in Essex called Wendons Ambo ........
and all the Muckings of course.
And in France there is B e r b i g u i e r e s ..........
Don't know what it means but it's difficult to type and it's where I live but after Essex it's a right bugger.Last edited by TonyF; 12-03-2007, 08:07 PM.TonyF, Dordogne 24220

I just like the resonant sounding places near me which, thanks to the Norse, have left us with names like Torngumbald, Nunburnholme, Wetwang, Fridaythorpe, Kirby Grindalythe, Thwing and Thixendale. All beautiful places in the much forgotten East Riding of Yorkshire.The law will hang the man or woman

But lets the greater thief go loose
