Otterburn?

No, not there. Think Otterburn only has village status anyway. But you're (more-or-less) up in the right end of the country just now.

 

[Gloster]

Durham?

 

[SuspectUsual]

Somewhere in Cumbria. Workington or Whitehaven?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Durham?

Not Durham. Think North West rather than North East England.

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Somewhere in Cumbria. Workington or Whitehaven?

Sorry, no. Getting much closer, but not either of those two towns.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Egremont?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Egremont?

No, not there. In the right part of the world, though!

 

[SuspectUsual]

I’ll keep guessing.

Keswick

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Keswick

No, not Keswick. Try a coastal town in the area.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Maryport?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Maryport?

That's the place. Apparently the 'Senhouse' Roman Museum is named after the family whose land the building is located on.

Was one of them Donald Trump by any chance? Maybe with one of his wives as the other?

Were these (I am sorry for the phrasing ) "Blonde Bimbos"?

No and no

A clue - one of them was famous for a far more noble and genuine form of fighting than this pantomime nonsense

One guest was Mohammad Ali as ringside ref, The other was Libarce (I'm not kidding) as timekeeper. IIRC.
I was still cheering on WCW at the time, WWF didnt appeal to me at the time.
