i always thought that was the Watford Gap, some 50 miles north of Watford, and was the border with the Midlands. Although I'm sure my rellies in Lancashire call Midlanders "Southerners" anyway.

Wickedpedia says:

"The Watford Gap is located at a minor gap between two slight hills in the county of Northamptonshire, England. Engineers from Roman times onwards have found it to be an appropriate route connecting the Midlands with the South East.

In a width of 400 metres (0.25 mi) the A5 road, the West Coast Main Line railway, the M1 motorway and a branch of the Grand Union Canal all traverse the gap in parallel."

Lets try a little further north, but definitely full of Southerners...

Yes I know it's the wrong Watford but poetic Licence - this game never has been about geographic accuracy! (in any case, anything outside the area bounded by the Humber Esturary, the Pennine Hills, the River Tees and the North Sea is the 'bad lands' and best avoided...)

With that in mind we'll hop on this train heading for Clapham Junction and hope it is the one in Noth Yorkshire...

My most humble apologies PLD. It is one of my pet peeves and a completely unwarranted knee-jerk reaction. Jerk being the operative word. I shall now take a forfeit and eat this flower arrangement that just arrived by "Garden-waste-o-gram".

But i hope it may at least have given the correctitudinousness of my post to a casual observer from the Sarf, who may otherwise believe that the Norf begins just the other side of the Starbucks on the A411.

Sarf is Sarf  of the river (Thames) and Norf begins at the at Gap (Watford) so I going east to Upminster.

Up Minister? Wasn't that the post watershed version of a comedy classic?

I've just had another letter from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales. She writes:

"Dear Pampers

The recent reference to 'Eschers folly' reminds me of Prince Charles referring to a building as being like a "monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend".

He has obviously not seen the size of the boil on Mrs Nesbitt's nose. With her leathery skin and enormous buttocks, it makes her look even more like a rhinoceros.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Trellis"

[Mustermark]

Yes, i can see the animosity that Mrs Trellis has for poor dear Mrs Nesbit has not abated in the slightest.

I will concede that with her rotund rear end, Mrs Nesbit has been likened to a Weeble.

The boil i believe is due to lanced a week on Wednesday.

And her dry wrinkled skin is a direct result of being in the sun so much as a desert rat in WWII. She clearly had to lie about more than her age, but "Captain Edifice Charlton Nesbit" as she was known during those years won various commendations for 'his' ability to overcome heat stroke and drink less than a camel.

The disturbing thing for me is that the moustache she had as part of her disguise was all her own.  Even worse was when she decided to keep it after the war.

Perhaps she needs to go to see Sweaty Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street. Alight at

Funnily enough, i have seen her use a cut-throat razor for the stubble on her chin!

He's become so iconic that even today politicians and lobbyists will say things like "Humphrey won't like that"  and refer the civil service in general as "Humphrey"
