What most people

Hello

Hello

I took the bloody

of having a little break in Bath with my family.

And I'm going to bring it Mark Steele

this week's guest straight away.

First up, welcome back to the show, Mark.

Hello, Jeff, yeah, lovely spear.

So Bath, it occurred to me.

You do loads of stuff.

You do these brilliant shows all, you know,

talking about towns,

like all their little mythologies, their derivations. Given that Roman baths are in Bath,

is Bath the most literally named place in the UK, do you think?

I mean, it could be. It's not very imaginative, isn't it? The Romans are sort of said to be these people who had these sort of great cultural sort of minds and so on. Well, they called it a Kui Sulis or something. Oh, right. Oh, it's not them then. It's not. Listen, that still sounded fancy, but all it meant was like Waterplace. I mean, it was literally, you know, like, you know, like Cafe Rouge just means red calf, you know, like it's just sounds more impressive.

So, well, everywhere, maybe, like if Sunderland was called Shipyard or, where I come from, Swanley, should just be called Petty Crime.

Petty Crime sounds quite classy, doesn't it?

Well, it's because it sounds French.

Again, little crime, not so much.

Yeah, there's a good one for people to straight away emailing what most people think
