    I don't know if it stretches all the way to Scunny.

    I had a friend at uni who used to work in a chippy in Grimsby and she had never heard of it.

    My FSIL has just got a bassett hound puppy. She's so cute - when she runs in the garden her ears flap about in the wind and her legs aren't quite long enough and running up steps causing her to keep tripping over!
