No East Stowell but there is a Stowell nearby. Nice one if you write down what you hear. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DERRICK TOWNSEND" <derrick.townsend@tesco.net> To: <ENG-WILTSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 9:06 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-WIL] East Towel and West Towel > There is a West Stowell 6 miles SW of Marlborough.

Harry, Not anything to do with your places but I was reminded of a question I got wrong recently at the pub. What is the commonest owl in Britain? Tawny = No, Barn = No, Teat = Yes. HOOTS!!
