Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #6Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #5Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #4Zitat von winteramw im Beitrag #3 I got nothing, but you have to admit "bent nine bob note" is a wee bit ............ WTF are you talking about? And, Weston Super Mare? How could any place come up with that name? Just keep in mind, I come from a place with town names like "Bird-in-Hand" , "Blue Ball" , "Paradise" and "Intercourse". But, that's the sad result of Pious German Settlers that abstained from the demons of alcohol. There's no doubt they weren't missed by their former neighbors in the Old Country. Old Forum Orphan |

Super Mare is not difficult to decipher - there were lots of West Tuns (tun is Anglo Saxon for settlement, becoming town in English) in the area. The "Super Mare" was added by the local Bishop after the Norman Conquest to distinguish this place from the others, presumably to make collecting the 10% tithe a bit easier. The Church used Latin and Super Mare means "above the sea". Move on 6 centuries and we have Weston Super Mare. |
