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 24220Comment

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

Oh yes, and a village not far from me is called Swine. (Yes, they do raise pigs there too!)Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

We've got a place named Termonfeckin and another called Bloodyforeland.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
