You can reclaim a lot of metal that way.

I hadn't.

I should probably order some toys to test your theory.

What am I buying? Well, the company decided we all needed a mental health day yesterday, and so I took a long drive through the country, went to the beach, visited Bon Scott's statue, and bought all the bits for a new 6 x 4 portable table top.. 9mm MDF, battens and hinges.

As everyone in oz can tell you, 'It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll' I always thought their parents were brave naming Angus after the county. But I can see that works. Other places not so much. Nottinghamshire Young.

I suppose that there are a few that could work. Devon, Kent, Stirling etc. The newer hybrids like Merseyside or Tyne & Wear are probably best avoided.

Didn’t Brian Ferry name his son Mersey?

A mate's wife suggested that perhaps they should name their first son after the place he was conceived. She quickly revised her plan when she realised that it had been on a Sealed Knot muster in the Midlands and she didn't want to name her son 'Vango' or 'Shugborough'. To us he will always be 'Vango Shugborough Jones' and will probably grow up to be an adventurer-archaeologist.

90% of Essex boys would be called Ford.
