We've noted this about you, and are appropriately appreciative.

It's rare to find such public spiritedness in one so utterly obsessed.

I discovered that "wrist watch" has to be two words. 

I hope nobody here ever has to refer to a certain industrial town in North Lincolnshire whose MP is Nic Dakin.

The most you can do is edit things down to a single character - and then only in the first 24 hours after posting.

Those of us who grew up in Lincolnshire refer to that town as "Sunny Scunny". Ironically, of course, due to the smog from the steelworks. Which I think are closed down now. I always hated that place.

Yep, I've heard of that, but my understanding is that it doesn't mean anything rude in any of the native languages. 

In the UK, there is also Greatbottom, Greatbottom Flash and a tiny village in Dorset that some people are trying to rebrand Sitterton, but where the majority of locals don't want to lose the all-important H from the correct name and prefer the original. Funnily enough, the name actually does refer to sewage. From the Anglo Saxon word schitte,  which in this case refers to a stream that the locals once used as a privy (a very long time ago, I hasten to add). I read a newspaper article about it once, and apparently the locals are very happy with the name and don't care what anyone else thinks, though they do wish visitors would stop nicking the signs.

I've just looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently we also have S*itlington Crags and S*ittlehope, but it's only S*itterton where the name really does refer to sewage.

I hope you all have a great day with this knowledge.

I know where I should have been sitting while reading that. Could use some fresh reading material.
