Not too far away from me, and less than a mile from Knockholt station and two miles from the M25 junction 4, is the beautiful Kent village of Pratt's Bottom. I recommend this as the name of your station.

Wetwang is a good one. Its honorary mayor, Richard Whiteley, just died.

A question I should also ask on ratcs, who the hell is/was Richard Whiteley?

Yes, I've Googled but he's still an unknown on this side of the pond.

Anchor man on a regional TV news programme "Calendar" for many years (The Yorkshire area) and the first person to be seen on Channel 4 when it went live then presenter of Countdown, a CH4 quiz show for many years with Carol Vorderman (You must find her on Google!?)

The thinking man's crumpet :-)

A soubriquet also enjoyed by Eleanor Bron, Antonia Fraser, and Helen Mirren!

Blimey, that used to be Joan Bakewell, mind you I expect I'm showing my age there. :-)

I think you'd need to be drawing your pension to find Ms. Bakewell attractive these days! :-)

You have to pause to think?

Nope, a few years to go yet; it was just something I heard, honest guv.
