Kitz in Worcester - stock a reasonable amount, include Hornby, Bachmann, Airfix, Revell, Trumpeter, PO (I think - East European company who do the Sea Furies), Peco, Parkside, quite a few odd manufacturers including Heller.
I got a Gannet last week, previous purchase was Evening Star!!!!
If you haven't realized yet - Usenet is a worldwide affair. Could you be a bit more vague as to the exact location of this wonderful shop? :- P
Australia, British Isles, USA, Africa, or somewhere else? Give us a clue. From the message I would say that it is in Great Britain - but it woudl be nice if you stated that. Why keep us guessing?

Worcester is in UK, where else would it be?
Australia and USA names are mainly different.
Worcester, Massachusetts. USA
Not necessarily.
Out of interest, is it pronounced "Wooster" as it is in the UK ?

When I lived in Boston, learning the names of places was entertaining. Worcester was Wus'tuh... Peabody was P'biddy... Medford was Me'feh... etc etc etc... great fun.

Well, we ha'n't any Worcesters hereabouts but I'm in Lancaster, York's across the river, Chester and Exton are to the east, Carlisle's to the northwest and around Philly there's a Gladwynne, Bryn Mawr and Bala Cynwyd. Townships in this county are named Warwick, Colerain, Drumore, Donegal, Lampeter, Sadsbury, Salisbury, Brecknock and Caernarvon. I'd wager you don't have any towns named Salunga, though. :)

Don't forget Reading, in Berks County (not BerkSHIRE, but close enough to make my librarian friend from the English Reading start leafing through an American road atlas...)
(oh and my Welsh friend informs me that we pronounce Bala Cynwyd wrong in this country... that is when the locals actually pronounce it the locally-accepted way...)

Sounds familiar. There's a constant war here over the pronunciation of 'Lancaster'. If you pronounce it one way the locals know you're not 'from around here'. I occasionally do pronounce it that way and one guy asked me when I moved here. I've been here for 98% of my life but he didn't believe me. :) So how are we to handle Bala?
Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.
Realize that wasting time over pronunciation issues IS a waste of time Must of us are from somewhere else anyway.
Lincolnshire?
Too confusing - you don't realise that so many places get names borrowed.
