As a tonic for our mainstream media's inexorable descent into the gutter (and I'm prmpted particularly by the thought of the unedifying spectacle of the shameless Jacqui Smith presenting a programme on pornography) I've decided that it is high time to issue the clarion call for us CUKers to stand four square and show the world that there are still those who derive their pleasure from matters cerebral rather than the pure unmitigated filth currently on offer over the airwaves.
Furthermore, this exercise will enable me to determine who prefers the brown cheese to the pink cheese while playing Trivial Pursuit.
So, in what I propose will become a regular Wednesday feature, I will pose 4 literary questions along with a stinker.
For anyone requiring me to reveal more of my stinker, I am prepared to offer up to 3 clues upon receipt of a request solicited with the words "Show us some clag".
In this inaugural edition, the topic is the fictional place names used in the works of Thomas Hardy and your task is to provide the real world place name corresponding to its fictional counterpart.
Good luck everyone:
