Ever wondered where most people with your surname lived (in the UK)? Help is at hand.

http://www.spatial-literacy.org/UCLnames/Surnames.aspx This fascinating, although currently rather slow site shows the concentrations of people of that name in each county in either 1998 or 1881; you can also look at the ethnicity figures for that name.

Mine didn't tell me anything much I didn't know - I have a typically Lancastrian name (no, it's not Longbottom, and that's all I'm saying on this subject), despite the fact that I was born and brought up in Scotland - and the picture reflected that. Although there was a colony of - Not-Longbottoms in Oxfordshire, which explains why I keep being given the wrong books in Bodley.

What Flavour Are You? Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.


I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?
