Have we stopped saying what the association is then?

I am confused as to how Somerleyton relates to Spring Road; I presume it is some Summer > Spring thing. I think it should be stated unless it is totally obvious (and by that I mean the same name, eg. in my Hale > Tottenham Hale example above).

I presume we're still at Rose Hill Marple

Bush Hill Park - another 3 letter name with reference to plants and hills

He did underline Somer TBF. It's pretty tenuous nonetheless. On which note:

Burnley Barracks. Barack Obama and George Bush both POTUS.

It still took me a while to work it out as ''Somer'' on its own means nothing to me. Let's try and be a bit more clever with the links otherwise it'll get a bit boring!

Lympstone Commando, another military connection

Well, I've tried my best in post #305!

Pont-y-Pant. Going Commando means not wearing any pants.

Haltwhistle another peep from a steam engine.

Ramsline Halt - for those who've never heard of it the station was there to serve Derby County football ground and was only used four times before Derby moved to a new ground.

Haymarket - for the West End of Edinburgh and Murrayfield stadium (where Scotland plays and wears Canterbury shirts)
