I don't know that either :-[ but I'll guess 1895 (you did say nearest century didn't you :D)
That reminds me of my first Current Affairs lesson, age 15, we were given 10 questions about the Government and who was secretary for what etc... and I didn't know any :blush: Luckily the teacher didn't pick on me to answer, I was sinking lower and lower in my seat during the entire lesson.

Good quiz this week Dave, I knew some answers and with a little bit of help from my other half, could answer most of them.
As the answers are already mostly here, I'll continue to just watch.

Hi Kate,
Try and get him onto porridge and oats alternately - it'll improve his stamina..... ;) ;D
I went to a small convent near Woces ... Worcis ..... Worcess ...... the place the sauce that's not Heinz ketchup comes from. They accept severe cases on a short term basis and the family managed to have a holiday whilst I was 'inside'. You can do basket weaving, bonsai pruning, bingo and a tea dance all in one day. Very relaxing! ;D ;)
We were due to be there for two weeks, but didn't want to get stuck on the M5 car park.

John,
Have you been forgetting your medication again?
-
Have you been forgetting your medication again?
No he's been on the sauce ;)

One of the funniest things is seeing foreigners (and some Brits) trying to pronounce it :D
-
LOL Kitz... we have some cracking place names here in Norfolk that bamboozle visitors from anywhere.
1) Wymondham - pronounced 'Windham'
2) Costessey - pronounced 'Cossey'
3) Stiffkey (a little village near Wells-next-the-sea) - even the locals can't agree on this one. 'Stiffkey' 'Stookey' and 'Stuckey' are all acceptable variations.
and my favourite of the lot:
4) Happisburgh - pronunced 'Hazeborough'.
-
>> place names here in Norfolk
lol those are quite different to their spellings arent they?
Not quite Norfolk but on the border another one is Wisbech that seems to oft get mispronounced.
Round here Ive seen many a tourist struggle with "Bispham".

'is lordship often reminds me of the time I asked a policewoman how to get to Syston (I was rhyming it with cistern) and wondered why she couldn't stop laughing :-[
-
tell us Steph - I can't think of any other word you could have rhymed it with
-
I should have rhymed 'Sy' with 'eye' :-[
I got my own back anyway, he didn't have a clue what to do with Lympne when he first moved down here :lol:
-
Limp-knee :)

Limp-knee :)
You live here so I know you are taking the :P
:lol:

I LOVE word things ....and place names are fascinating aren't they ..... I shan't let the cat out of the bag Steph ... but my curiosity got the better of me ..and I know now that it sounds like a place in Cheshire !!!!
One funny item I found whilst searching was a story about someone looking for the Airfield at Lympny they asked a local how it was pronounced, he shrugged his shoulders and said "Shoreham" :lol:
There is a village in France, with he shortest name, possibly in Europe ...... Y ..... pronounced EEEE :)
-
Kate,
Would that be like
Y By Gum! as in God's county.
