ReplyDelete"Word War II"? Was this hitherto unknown verbal conflict about whether a place called Mytton Dingle existed?
ReplyDeleteMytton Dingle sounds like a character from that cartoon on the inside back page of the New Statesman .
ReplyDeleteIt now says World War, thanks.
ReplyDeleteMytton Dingle is a very steep climb. A better way up from Stiperstones village to the ridge is Perkins Beach Dingle.
Thanks, Jonathan, some of us still find war deaths moving.
