Just to get back to something stone related, I’ve wondered before about the origins of that placename. If you split it in two, you get a tempting phallic stone reference, or is it just another town ending in ‘ton’?
I don’t know the area, does anybody know of any likely stones in the vicinity?

Never mind that, we've just hit 200! thats a day ahead of the plan.

Now, have I asked you about getting your family to sign? You know, if everyone who signed got just one other person to sign that would be 400!

Do you think that, like Stonehenge (according to eminent archaeologists) Scunthorpe's town plan is modelled on the design of a woman's bits, too?!
