Just outside our town there is a area called "Purgatory", also on the other side of town is a little village called "Bleary" But near where my wife is from in Lancashire there is a place whose name really cracks me up, Ramsbottom, and yes, there is an Upper Ramsbottom, I always imagine people saying in response to the question "where do you come from?" "I come from Upper Ramsbottom" (up-a-rams-bottom) Funny things place names... Tim |

I can remember being tickled when, on a trip from university to the Jodrell Bank radio observatory, the coach driver pointed out a road-side footpath entrance with a stile labelled "Peover" for the nearby villages. |

The dad of the family was called Richard. So we used to know a Dick Ramsbottom from Cockermouth in Cumbria. |
