    SAUFEND replacing the TH with a F. ACCURATE.

    Nice to see RAMFED on there, but my hometown seems to be hidden under the hatching. :(

    This is MY KIND of topic by the way. I've just bought this to hang in the study. :disco:

    And "Billericay-Dicky" appears to be the name of a SONG by an artist who isn't Kylie or Britney. :)
