Why did a post containing the name of a respected Lincolnshire town get referred
Posted by: Guido Fawkes on 25 January 2007
I posted a reply which contained the name of a respected steel town in Lincolnshire that started with S and ended with thorpe. Why did this get referred to the moderator?

I was once asked this: [It is supposed to be funny, and I laughed, but maybe I would not now].
"If Typhoo put the "T" in Britain, who put the "...." in S....horpe?" I had a disaster spelling century oneday, which was refered, and I think you can see where this is going. Those four letters probably have been programmed into the system as rejectable, and poor old S....horpe just falls fool of a computer based system, as my miss-spelling of century did. Nothing serious...
Kindest regards from Fredrik [Making the most of the remains of my time with my own phone line Smiley].

'ere's one for ya!
About these parts is a little village called Besthorpe. And it contains a road called Sluts Hole Lane.
I'd love to be able to give it as my address, but some residents had a campaign to try and get it changed.
I am pleased to report that they failed.

There's a place called Druggers' End near Malvern. And several Piddles near Pershore!

Speaking of Lincolnshire......
Newark is the only town in the UK (as far as I am aware) that is an anagram of another naughty word. Unless you know otherwise?

West Lothian, now that is a question that does need answering.

Close to here is a 'Kilmenny Surgery'. Not a great advert!

Newark used to be in Nottinghamshire - it also used to be the nearest dual carriage way to Lincoln - however things have changed in the last decade and since I no longer have a need to go back home.
