Member Since: January 0001 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hi all, Last Tuesday I drove to North Wales and, when nearing my journey's end I was pleased to see that someone had thoughtfully sited a sign saying St. Winifred's well! Bless her. Jim

	Trish, I live near Crook (always loved Burnside in The Bill). I'm like David when I see Heavy Plant Crossing and used to imagine a triffid lumbering along. I used to live in Lincolnshire where there was a sign,"To Mavis Enderby and Old Bolingbroke" and someone added underneath "a Son". My favourite place name is Claxby Pluckacre. Elfx
