Many years ago I went up the Orkney islands, could can imagine my surprise when driving down a road I was confronted with a sign that told me I was in Twatt. My fevered imagination thought up this. Just imagine being stopped by the constabulary in a far away part of the country. "Evening sir, it this your car" "Er yes, yes it is" "Can I ask you where your going sir" "Twatt" "No need for that sir, where are you from" "Twatt" "No need at all for that sir, it was a polite question, now just where are you going" "Twatt!!" "Got a right one 'ere Charlie, get the cuffs"
