Yes, that was rather an odd one as I too did not find any problem with the link, there's no accounting for computers though, often they just do their own thing!

Only too pleased to have helped out with doing something towards your good idea, after all it was my link originally that caused the problem.

Thanks for the lists, guys!

Talking of Ham, it's a shame there isn't a village called Ham in Kent.

Near Sandwich.

The last time we went to Sandwich, we couldn't get one anywhere.... mind you, I think it was a Sunday.

If there was then that could be said to be a good Deal
(please don't excuse the pun, it was deliberate)!

However, as in Devon there are also some weird and wonderful names in Kent, as can be seen on the link below:

What, both together! I guess you'd have to as you couldn't have one without 'the other'!
Again, please don't excuse the pun as this one was also deliberate!
