Ozexpatriate Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Muckle Flugga - ok not strictly a town but I like the name I'm hoping that's not a spoonerism for a pejorative term a death eater might intend as a nasty insult. Let's go with: Albany, OR - a mid-Willamette Valley town at one point known for its smelly paper mill on the side of the highway.

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted July 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2013 The last 2 letters can take us to many places... KEttering, KEntish Town, KElso. But, without looking, I think we've been there before.... So, I'll offer KEmpsey, which is on the old A38, below Worcester, but above the M50. Or, just using the last letter, lets go to Evesham, which is near Worcester as well. Your choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
