Does someone else want to step in here, I've not got more that a few minutes free internet (Premier Inns don't give you more than half an hour) until Thursday evening. Thanks.

Windermere is correct John. Was changed by the Victorians when the railway landed there as an attempt to get more people to visit. So said Michael Portillo in one of his railway progreammes.

  Try this silly one then.

    You might find me at the bottom of the ocean 

    You might find me on land

    But I do not think you will find me in the air

    Even though I was on the television.

    C2 or C3 may help.
