I sometimes wonder if anyone from Wetwang has ever been in Twatt. Here's a site with a few nice examples. |

I sometimes wonder if anyone from Wetwang has ever been in Twatt. . Always wondered why they called a village after Trev.  |

I went past a place called _Dyke Bottom Farm yesterday, made me chuckle.
(censor doesn't like the word "dyke" apparently - god knows how it will cope with the name of the American actor who mauled the Cockney accent in "Mary Poppins"! - let's try it - Dick Van Dyke )
