Church to be twinned with ???
 

The Scottish village of Dull has been twinned with a Dorset (?) one called Boring.
Where might Church go to continue this trend?
What about other Lancashire townships such as Water, Weir and Barley?
Any others?

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

Actually Bob Boring is in Oregon, USA - a long way from Dorset!

BBC News - Dull and Boring: Should towns embrace silly names?

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

There - I've captured your attention already,Susie. Now apply your mind to the questions. Otherwise, people will think of you as dull and boring.

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

Barley with Malting End, Suffolk, or Brewer's End, Essex. One track mind, that's me!

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

Water with Wash, Derbyshire or Wash End, Lancs.

What about Church twinning with Bethlehem in Wales?

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

I have had suggested to me: Bare (Morecambe) with Peach Bottom, California, or with Ramsbottom, a bit nearer home.

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

There's also Green Bottom in Gloucs or Cornwall, or just Bottoms in Lancs or Cornwall.

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

I've heard of Samlesbury Bottoms but not just Bottoms. Are you making these up Susie? I would be very wary about playing Scrabble with you.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned Church & Chapel en le Frith, but I won't mention it.

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

Was going to suggest Samlesbury Bottoms but didn't and there are so many Chapel place names I lost count.

No I'm not making them up. Look at

Gazetteer of British Place Names - The Association of British Counties

Re: Church to be twinned with ???
 

Once remember doing a job in a WMC in Wallsend near Newcastle (where the ale was good in those days) we arrived on site about 4-30pm unloaded and retired to the bar for a well earned pint, my mate said to the barman two pints of Fed Special please, that will be 9 pence sir, no I'm paying for both of um, that is for both of them the beer is half price for the next fortnight:thankya::thankya::thepint::thepint::thep int::thepint:

There's hundreds of Saint townships in La France. I like St. Hippolyte. If we have any more children, we will call him Hippolyte. He may not thank me once he starts school.
