Strange but True
There is a village in Essex named Ugley and a village in Hertfordshire named Nasty.
Some years back a remarkable event took place resulting in the Saffron Walden Local paper's
headline "Ugley Woman Marries Nasty Man".
Beat that.

Re: Strange but True
Just looked it up as it bought back memories.I remember cycling through Ugley Green in the mid 70's with the cycling club I was with at the time on the way to the place we stayed at for the weekend.Also remember Elsenham (to get to Ugley) which we passed through which had a railway level crossing and station if I recall correctly.Also at the time I remember they were building the M11.I've been up there rarely ever since.
At the time it was a really nice place.

Funnily enough, in the neighbouring village of Erbum, just on the outskirts of the town of Tillet, is a cosy little boozer, The Cock Inn. A lady by the name of Lucy Lykes took over the hostelry. Her friend went on holiday shortly after and couldn't believe the address when she was writing out a post card to Lucy:
Lucy Lykes
The Cock Inn
Erbum
Tillet
Herts
The postcode was SG12 9EF but I've excluded that as it is not funny.
This is true, swear down.

Re: Strange but True
Don't forget, down in Kent near the town of Sandwich, is a village called Ham. I believe that there is a famous signpost.

Re: Strange but True
What has all this got to do with the Orient?
For those who wish to focus on football only, try the ‘other’ board.
