I cracked myself up! At my own intelligence deficit.
Love the pics Sundae. |
Your cathedrals and castles are just gorgeous. We have nothing even close to that here. I know that's an obvious statement, but still. Makes me want to go back and visit again.

Winchester Cathedral
you're bringing me down, you stood and you watched... |
My great-grandmother* lived in Winchester. Beautiful place. Love the cathedral. Way too many years since I visited the town.
That street scene reminds me a little of Hebden Bridge. Similarly eclectic looking. * Known to all as 'Big Gran' despite the fact she was about 4 foot tall and thin as a bird. Though she looked bigger because of all the dark shawls and broaches and stuff. A tiny woman sitting in her chair, waving a walking stick as she directed the world. Lived to 96 iirc. She was called Big Gran to differentiate her from 'Little Gran' despite the fact that 'little' Gran was significantly bigger. |

Beautiful pics Sundae! Thanks.

Thanks for posting these pictures. I always love looking at your pix although I don't always reply to acknowledge that. Thought I'd let you know. :p:

Ok, brits. How come Winchester has three syllables and Worchester only has two?
|
Because it's Worcester.
It's all in the h. |

This was the tongue-twister when I worked at the local burger joint.
... from "worshestershur" to "war-chest-er-sh-eye-rer" |
I'd pronounce that 'Wusstershuh'
|
Here's a couple of odd place names that don't match the spelling:
Oswaldtwistle - pronounced Ozzle twizzle Slaithwaite - pronounced slawut by the locals Mytholmroyd - pronounced mythumroyd Warwick - pronounced worrick Loughborough - pronounced luffbra |
and penistone
