who needs to fly to furren parts? I didn't go to Dunkirk, Pennsylvania or California today but i was only a short way from all three!

Not much in New Zealand if i recall.
Convention? what's that then?

Dunkirk is near Badminton next to Petty France on the A46 (there is another at Nailsworth!), Pennsylvania is several miles further south on the same A46 north of Bath whilst California is in Gloucester. None are in Wiltshire.

Of course you have Caen Hill too in Devizes, but one of my favourite Wiltshire place names is The Shoe ehere the A403 crosses the Fosse Way. Have you been to Whaddon yet, a few houses/farms on the bank of the Avon 3km down a no through road!
