Oh and Bryn I fear you misrepresented the society in that interview. When he asked what we do, you made no mention of arguing about metrication, the A74(M) or traditional English counties.
Their listeners will think we are more interested in roads!

Tormarton, not Tormanton.

For many years I thought it was Tomarton, which reminded me of tomato. I was quite disappointed when I discovered it was Tormarton.

Of course, in the 1970s, prog-rock band Yes had an album called Tormatowrinkly wrote:For many years I thought it was Tomarton, which reminded me of tomato. I was quite disappointed when I discovered it was Tormarton.
According to Wikipedia, "The original album title was to be 'Yes Tor', referring to a geological formation in southern England. The photographs taken by Hipgnosis for the album cover were seen as so unimpressive that Rick Wakeman, in frustration, threw a tomato at the pictures. The cover and title were adjusted accordingly."
