You might expect to see articulated vehicles here.

Spaghetti Junction

[DaleCooper]

Hey ! How about Fairlie?

Indeed, how about Fairlie? Your turn...

 

[Calthrop]

Ramsbottom?

 

[Calthrop]

Ramsbottom?

To quote Mr. Tolkien, "You hit near, but not in the gold."

 

[johnnychips]

Ramsgreave and Wilpshire?

 

[Calthrop]

Correct: the Rams "grieve" at their run of bad luck, and "hire" the fictional Master Wilps in the hope of remedying things.

Over to you.

Take nothing away from Scotland or Wales, it's to be found in England.
