With the entirety of the language of Chaucer to choose from, they went for.....DENGIE? Really?!?!
I think you've transposed your references.

The local saying goes "all straight roads lead to Dengie".
Perhaps the inhabitants are all teetotal?
Have you driven the road from South Fambridge to Burnham on Crouch? An insanity of 90 degree bends. I reckon the locals are having a laugh.....there are no straight roads.......bunch of drunks.

What, to your wearing of a gimp suit? I bet!

But seriously, why are people surprised that someone from Essex would wear a gimp suit?

There you go again, off on another one of your geographical jaunts. I'm surprised you haven't drowned going from
South Fambridge as it's over the other side of the River Crouch to Burnham and there are no bridges. However, North Fambridge is on the right side and the roads are almost Roman in their straightness. The reason I know this...I lived in Althorne for a while and once walked from North Fambridge to Althorne. This is why the drunken locals were laughing.
In your defence,, I will give you that after Althorne the road to Burnham has a few kinks in it...walked that one as well, and back along the railway line.

Oh yes, good point. Thank you.
Actually, I wasn't thinking of one of the Fambridge's but rather South Woodham Ferrers. To be fair, it only takes a few minutes to drive from SFam to the bridge at Battlesbridge, and there are 14 ninety degree turns between SWF and Burnham and it's only ten miles. What were the Romans thinking?

I’ve been making most of my man flu by starting scratch building a Normandy barn.
There is a house attach to this next.

That's a rather nifty piece of real estate and no mistake. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.
