    Incidentally, there are some very intresting historical facts surrounding Spaxton.
    In the middle of the village exists an old chapel which hasn't been used for the purposes of Christian worship for a good number of years.
    At one point, The chapel was used as a studio by the production team responsible for Ivor the Engine, The Clangers and other such staples of the
    5.35 five minute slot before the daily evening news on the BBC back in the Nineteen Seventies. More interestingly, however, is what is revealed if one delves a little further back in time.
    It turns out that the chapel was once the focal point of a rather bizarre Victorian christian cult who made their home in Spackers. The point of interest surrounding this cult is that all female follwers, upon reaching the
    age of 16, would be de-flowered on the alter by the vicar in front of the whole congregation. Lucky him, I think, though I don't think I'd be able to raise myself to full salute with so many people watching.
    I thought you were "an uphill gardener", surely that would have an impact on your ability to deflower 16-year old girls?

            Is that like the Dutch saying "At least Holland is bigger than Belgium"?

                I was thinking of Berkley for some reason, another place where there's a nuclear power station. Do they all end in "kley".

                    I was struggling with the something nice bit. Bad and indifferent posed no problems.
                    I thought it was just a motorway services on the way from that London to somewhere altogether more civilised.
