Kirstie, I know that you grew up near Ramsbottom (known locally as tupp's ar5e) so I'm surprised at you!

Surprised at me for what?

In any case, everyone knows that Ramsbottom means 'Valley of Wild Garlic'. What could possibly be funny about that?

Yeah, that's what they want you to think. Don't believe them.

The Canal Street road sign in the gay area of Manchester often has the 'C' painted over - or so I've heard!

I live near the River Hit. The name sign is cut to exactly fit the name on, for some reason.

Are you sure it's not really Campton Brook ????

The Bridge Down The Meadow (2003)
In a field near Gravenhurst is a small bridge that spans the River Hit (formerly known as the River Clarke and Campton Brook). Beside the bridge stands an old pollarded ash tree and it was here that village children used to play up to at least the 1920s and 1930s. In those days there was less requirement for supervision so as to ensure the children’s safety and they would often stay there for most of the day in summer. The bridge holds great sentimental value for the villagers who, on seeing its slow decay over the years, decided to campaign for the bridge’s restoration and it was reopened in its restored state in early October 2003. The bridge is now known as Cow Bridge and this song was commissioned to be sung on the reopening day at the bridge site.
