Spar is not bigger than Tesco.


Tesco is the biggest employer in the UK in the private sector.   It has the largest market share of any UK supermarket.

There's an Errol in Perth and Kinross, but I've never heard of somewhere called Errole.  That sounds more French or something.

I'll have to take your word for that Smurfy my Austrailian geography is a bit thin.


It reminds me of Bungo, one of the Wombles.  They're all named after places.  I was once bored enough to look them up.


Great Uncle Bulgaria = country in Eastern Europe


Tobermory = Village on Isle of Mull, Scotland


Tomsk = Town in Russia


Orinoco = Town in Nicaragua


Bungo = Town in India


Wellington = City in New Zealand


Madame Cholet = Village in France

let me sail, let me sail, let the orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
da da, da da, da da, da da, da da

sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.

da da, da da, da da, da da, da da

turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu

sail away...

from the North to the South, Ebudæ into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.

we can sail, we can sail, with the orinoco flow,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

we can reach, we can beach on the shores of Tripoli
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

we can reach, we can beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away

from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away...

Bungo was my favourite womble.  Elizabeth Beresford used to come to my junior school and read us womble stories before they were published and Bungo was always my favourite.  Her original pictures were quite different from the ones they used eventually - they had little round furry faces, not those long noses.

A completely understandable if erroneous assumption.

You lucky thing.  Yes, I think I identified more with Orinoc.  he was the slightly mischievous one.  I think they were all cute in their way.

Why did you write spas when 623 was talking about spar?

It was a joke.  He could have written spa

Smurfy it is a river...
Orinoco , river of Venezuela, estimated to be from 1,500 to 1,700 mi (2,410–2,735 km) long.


I didn't say it wasn't a river, merely that the eponymous Womble is not named after it.

But surely when you come to place names you have to be able to spell.  You said Errole and I said I'd never heard of it.  At the time Errol didn't occur to me because it's a bit obscure.  I wasn't taking the piss.
