    Mine is sort-of 'Geordie' because of a northern musician I like although I have spelt it differently - and my avatar is my family name.

    Well, I live in Trumpton. I grind the corn for the bread. When the factory workers have finished their dancing at break time, they eat sandwiches made with my bread. The Lord collects his by train, as the train line runs right past my mill!!!! :D :D :D
