Name for Station...help!!

Hvae you heard of Phil McCavity the wall insulation specialist?

Daylight Robbury or Nighttime Robbury?

What about the local warehouse? Would that be Wholesale Robbury? :o)

And his partner, Ben Doone?

And there's the Bridgnorth estate agents, Dolittle and Dalley.

Getting a bit off topic, I admit, but I cannot resist mentioning the Glasgow camping shop that announced a sale with: "Now is the winter of our discount tents".

Or you could be a bit of a Chav and call it Burberry?

All those who got "Robbury" - you're sharp, must have had kippers for breakfast. :-)

More possibilities, with prounciations, as a reminder that spelling is no guide to pronunciation for English placenames.

Siscester or Ciscester (pron. "sister")

Penbury (pron. "pemby")

Tunmouth (pron. "tummut")

And variations on "Iseley" (pron "eyely" or "izzly"):

Iseley Bridge, Isely Wells, Isely End

Isemouth (pron. "immut")

Isely Monkford, Isely Morford, Isely Morford (all pron. "illy muffud").

Fun, this. :-)

Or just call it "Wffywffrewfllddwed"... pronounced "Fred"...

Nice one.

I suppose if its a preserved line you could call it "Dunsteaming".....

If ever I were to model a fictional Scottish station I would definitely call it "Inveracity"

Oh, I had "Isly" as an alternate spelling, and corrected it. But "Isley Murford" looks good to me, too. :-)

you mis-spelled Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantisiliogogogoch

Yeah, I missed the 'gyll'. Should have checked it on the web.

The Model Railway Club have an O Gauge exhibition layout called Happisburgh, which is based on a real location near me that is pronounced "Hazeborough".

The August 2004 edition of BRM featured a layout called "Somweir Junction".

...and longer platforms to hold the nameboard!

I'm considering a firm of solicitors called "Boots, Boots, Boots, Boots, Marchinup & Downagen"...

I used to like the firm featured in Private Eye - Sue, Grabit and Runn.

Vanity plates seen on lawyers' cars in Toronto - TNT LLB and I SUE 4U.
