...might pass a village on the way in called Pyewipe.

Now it might just be me, but I reckon this would be a great brand name for those moist, scented 'feminine freshener' things. Possibly quite appropriate for somewhere which has been known to smell fishy.

I know a lass from Grimsby, and she told me that pyewipe is also a North Lincolnshire word for a magpie. Very strange.
