Giok. Tynbrum Upper or Lower depends on whether you are going to Oban (via Connell Bridge) or Fort William, Mind you the Gunter Grass reference suggests Danzig (Gdansk) which would be a suitably bizarre change of direction to the game.

Ouch Micca. That felt like a clip round the ear. So for good measure try ARTLENOCK. I would advise seeking a native Northants speaker for this one. Sadly Dr Beeching closed the station but there are occasional buses.

Wait! Has Macclesfield been abandonded? Is the Pope a member of a religious organisation? Has the North Sea really been closed due to roadworks at Mablethorpe and resurfacing around Cromer.

Managed to get away from the gravitational pull of Dorking and, using the Windsor 'effect', have been propelled to Uttoxeter.

I finished with the Mull of Kintyre years ago at the request (sic) of her father and his shotgun. Look what you've done Mr Red, you've made me (sic)now, it must be all this water.

I assume that by using the Crinan Canal you are on the Vital Spark, and heading for Loch Neck.

Sorry Micca bur Crianlarich can only be used when playing Oban under Caledonian (Highlands & Islands)(Clearances)(Kill the f*****g Redcoats)Act 1745 Rules. Under these rules of course passage may only be made using General Wade's military roads whilst wearing appropriate military garb of the period. Cagoules and anoraks even in camouflage colours not permitted.

Nor sure why? But Pershore via Etruria.

But Machester IS much better. Manchester on the other hand!

Discovered the easiest way out of Congleton - two bottles of Scotch.
Not to drink but to use as bribes, although Stockport looks nice through very thick Scottish glass.

Congleton? why turn left past the police station and RUN

***BG*** (like a Cheshire cat)

Or you could try waltzing into a pub and shout Machester is much better than here. You will find a cohort of escorts will show the way - very quickly. Keele hauling will be the least of your worries.......

As one who has led a somewhat sheltered life, for example I thought for years that an Itchyfanny was a make of Japanese motorcycle, I could not begin to think about flush and dyke in the same paragraph let alone the same word.

What is the world coming to? Cover those table legs immediately.

How the hell DO you get out of Congleton?
