Hi Joan, It is pretty rural where I live.........but no idea where the name came from. Used my name when I first started, but was told to change it when I first appeared on here and this was the only thing that came to mind.... ... Anyway, I tried to think of another name, but it was very difficult. then my children saw it, they said, you have completely flipped now. Change it, it looks sad..... So I thought if it irrates them, it will do for me, its good to wind them up sometimes..... THEN searching on my tree, found one of my Norfolk rellies, lived in a house that has now been turned into a pub and someone on here told me that it is owned by a chain of pubs called 'Slug & Lettuce' .....so must have been ancestral intervention. Sorry Colin didnt mean to go on............. Ria xxx |

If only. No but the rest of the family had to pay for the spilt contents. That was after the entire village had sobered up. It was a small sacrifice for the greater cause.........so the story goes..... LOL Ria xxx |

BBC News has a story (Maps reveal 'unhealthy' England) of interest to some today. Living in a town knocks years off your life. Living in a town in the North West is even worse. Is Liverpool in the North West? lol Clive |
