Flowery Field near Hyde might give us a route back to a London Park if some one can remember the correct diagonals or variation.

Luvverly sounding spot.

I think we might be staying in Madchester... Newton-Le-Willows.

I remember as a young lad being taken by my dad to the spot at Parkside near Newton where the first public railway fatality occurred.  At the opening of the Liverpool to Manchester Railway, the MP for Liverpool was on the line talking to the Prime Mnister through the open door of the carriage.  Stephenson's Rocket approached on the line and as the MP tried to climb into the carriage to get out of the way, and as he grabbed the open door of the carriage it swung out throwing him into the path of the oncoming train. There is a memorial on the line where it happened.

Bless you MM for your last move which will allow a move away from the Norf

Newton-le-Willows is the station for Haydock Park

I can use a Piggott's Pass for a one-off move to any racecourse of my choice

So I'm going to plump for

Plumpton

As we're horsing around outside London, can I sugest Derby Castle...

A short ride then to Minorca.

Are there any railways on the Balearic Islands???

Oh that Minorca...  In that case Bungalow...

This is obviously a concerted strategy to discombobulate a poor Southerner who is frightfully lorst in the wilderness and islands of the northern climes and not knowing whether your utterances are fact or fiction.

In fact I am so befuddled that my next move is to

Maithwaite

If I may say so, that is a typical comment from a discombobulated poor Southerner who, if in doubt of the geographical sublimities of the North, will always add 'thwaite' to a simple word like Mai, which as everyone knows is French for May. 

will someone just say  Moaningtown Croissant and bring this thread to an end....

Mind you, everyone knows that TTTE was written by the Rev Awdrey who was born in Hampshire so what would he know

Oooooh - I can't let you get away with a remark like that that about the county where I live!!

So just like Worzel Gummidge (on one of my good days, people have remarked that I look like him), I'm putting my Angry Head on - be afraid, be very afraid, your kettles will be on their way to Woodhams, before you know it and replaced by worms

Hah, Worzel!
I laugh in the face of your threat as all my kettles were purchased from Woodhams and restored to full (in some cases, poor) running order.
Actually, I think I could have saved money if I had gone to Woodhams and got the full size stuff
Anyway, that's not the point.
The only worms I have are in the garden (unless the Doc tells me different ), but I believe my garden worms are just like your mutli coloured ones i.e. if you cut them in half both ends still wriggle around.

Thinking about it, I do have 3 green worms in the house but if I bisect them only one half still wriggles
