Did you see

"Wincanton was officially twinned in 2002 with the fictional city of Ankh-Morpork from the novels, becoming the first UK town to link with a fictional place"

I cant wait for their MP to put in an expenses claim for visiting there.

Providing they don't include "Visiting the Seamstresses' Guild" they should be ok!  :lol:

There's a "Quidditch Lane" in Cambourne, near me - named not after the game in JK Rowling's books, but the word for a dry ditch.

Some of the people in the road have joined in the spirit of the books, with one house called "The Golden Snitch", and another called "Muggles".

Each to their own...  :roll:

Possibly. I'll have a look in Morrisons next time I'm there - they print "Camborne" on their receipts.

(Why can't businesses spell? HSBC in St Neots puts "St Noets" on their statements!  :doh:)
