Terry...you serious.....your aussie wife laughed at the name Oswaldtwistle.....What about Murwillumbah?????? Woolloomoolloo (not sure if I spelt that right)..... but as you must know there are some real strange place names on your side of the world.
Seriously though...glad you saw the difference......and it is a good view from the top of the coppice. There used to be a lectern sort of thing with a brass plaque on it and it told you all the names of the places when you looked towards the horizon at a particular point.....it pointed out Pendle hill, Hameldon etc.
