Shouldn't really as I've got 21 spotlights to wire into the kitchen ceiling but I might be persuaded!

OK, but what does it mean? I'll be there? Tough luck? My dog has testicular cancer?

Any locals that pronounce Rothwell as rowel (as in Trowel) are not great communicators. Took me about 2 years to figure out where Rowel is and I used to drive through Rothwell twice a day!

As a resident of Desboghorror for some 3 years now i can honestly say i've never heard 'dugs nub'.
'dug' yes as it's local for dog and isn't just Des but Kettering area.

Rowel has always been known as 'Rowel' locally.

Well I was planning on making an appearance tonight, but not sure if I can speak the correct language - it all seems to have gone a bit yokel this afternoon.
