...and they're just close enough together that when your satnav takes you to the other one, you just think "Oh good, it's picked a route with less roadworks and average speed cameras, I didn't know you could get there this way"... but just far enough apart to be really annoying when you go to the wrong one, like a fanny.

Comrie Croft is better than ever though, they hadn't quite opened the twa turns loop in full last time I was there, minimoabs! The old bottom black feels pretty disused now they've got that cool blue.

Took me years to realise that Cobham wasn't Chobham.

Comrie Croft does indeed rock. Fabulous little spot, full of rocky twisting goodness.

Comrie.

Well played gentlemen.

One of them is in Perth and Kinross, the other one's in Fife, halfway between Dunfermline and Kincardine. About 30 miles but it's hillbilly Fife miles so it takes about a day

My mate had seen a local village called Weobly on the map and read it as Wee-obely, and thought it was a different place to the 'Webbly' that he'd heard people talking about.

Years ago a bloke us stopped to ask for directions (bizarre in the first place).

He was looking for Haz-le-Mer.

Or Haslemere to everybody else.

There is both a Comrie and a Crombie West of Dunfermline, Crombie jackets might have first been stitched there or maybe not
