LoveReading Says

I first came across this splendid way of reassigning some of Britain’s splendid place names as words in a couple of Paul Jennings’ pieces written for The Observer. Now sadly forgotten he was a past master (none of your Bovey Tracey ways here Miss, being my particular favourite). In Afterliff, the humour comes from the words that John Lloyd and Jon Canter find the need for more than the aptness of the place-name chosen. However large the vocabulary of the English Language there is obviously always room for more!
