Welcome to the foro JR. Ramsbottom has to be one of my favorite place names, up there with Strawberryduck.

Welcome to the Foro, JR. Responding to Dudnote, I have always liked the town name of Intercourse, Pennsylvania, right in the heart of Amish country.

Well I got Strawberryduck wrong, turns out Strawbury Duck is a pub - no wonder I could never find it on my maps of Lancashire, I should have been looking in the Real Ale Guide all along

Fantastic!!

From wikipedia "The Amish are among the fastest-growing populations in the world, with an average of seven children per family". With town names like Intercourse they certainly got their advertising right.

Hi Guys, yeh the Strawberry Duck is a well known local pub,near a reservoir, I live about 5 miles away.
The nearest pub to us is about 5 mins away called the "Hare & Hounds", famously
known locally as "The Dogs",it normally has about 6 to 10 real ales on draft -so very popular with boys.
