Subject: RE: What's in a Name??
A friend of mine was very unimpressed when his next-door neighbour put up a wooden plaque "Dunroamin" on a terraced house in Croydon.
We spent a pleasant evening inventing plaques my friend could put up in protest; the favourites included "Dunmurder" "Duntime" & "Dunporridge" (The last two mean "have spent time in jail" in case anyone is unfamiliar with the slang)
Not as good as Pratchett's home of the Gods: "Dunmanifestin"
