And I didn't try to re-create the pronounciation, a la Hyacinth Bucket, of Battersea (Ba-TER-sea-ah). Too funny.The Nose Knowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631336197075220675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531370068946572090.post-35982921362427579232009-04-27T22:06:00.000+01:002009-04-27T22:06:00.000+01:00Excellent!!

Battersea is SW11, which is in the London Borough of Wandsworth, as is, in fact, Clapham Junction. Clapham Junction is NOT in Clapham, but is in Battersea, which is in Wandsworth. Clapham is an entirely different neighbourhood, and postcode (SW4) and is in the London Borough of Lambeth. Half of Clapham Common (the west half) is geographically in the Borough of Wandsworth, but through some mysterious arrangement is Lambeth's responsibility. Thankfully, the whole of Wandsworth Common is in Wandsworth. It sounds complicated, but there is only one culprit here, and that's Clapham Junction, which "infects" Battersea with a name that confuses EVERYONE. Very unhelpful. But I will never give up fighting for truth and clarity!!<br /><br />Thanks for your company on Friday night, and for this great and detailed summary of the evening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531370068946572090.post-33724330867816261772009-04-27T17:43:00.000+01:002009-04-27T17:43:00.000+01:00Thanks for the kind words, Denise.

I remember it all now that you mention it, but would have been hard-pressed to remember the evening in such detail myself.<br /><br />Thanks so much for this, and for coming along and helping to make it a most entertaining evening.<br /><br />More soon!Robert McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384607673163426191noreply@blogger.com
