The Meaning of Liff...a book by Douglas Adams which took place names from all over the UK, and indeed the world, and gave them funny definitions. There were a couple of really funny ones that always made me chortle and that was Mavis Enderby and Old Bollingbroke. There was another book I read once about odd things people had spotted over the years and I passed a sign that reminded me of one of the entries.
To Old Bollingbroke and Mavis Enderby - the gift of a son!
i've only just found this blog. I've wailed at the ManInAKilt.....you passed this sign....you were so very, very close to where we live. I can't believe we missed an opportunity to meet you. In fact if you did the length of the A16 between this sign and Boston you will have been literally 3 minutes from our front door....
ReplyDeleteAnd that sign makes us giggle. Bolingbroke is spelt wrong....
