    Until today Hatfield Peverell was top of my list, however it has been replaced by Much Wenlock

    What’s yours?

    Willey! Though I think its more of a village than a town.

    Edit – though if property developers moved in would they present a Willey Enlargement Plan?

    I drove through Morda the other day.

    Although it’s in Wales I kept thinking of Taggert investigating a morda in Morda

    Probably for the best. One does not simply walk into Morda.
