Yesterday, I drove past a road with an interesting name - Nuns Drift - written just like that, with no apostrophe, so in effect a statement - and I wondered........ do they?
Well, it made me laugh. Just thought I'd share that with you. :o)

Do they.......Not really ........as a habit
So these big sticky out bits on their hats......directional aids for drifting?

Where did you see that.
I s'pose it seems they do while in their habits?

Punctuation marks are generally removed from place names. eg Smiths Creek. In Australia this was done as an organised agreement.
This was done partly to help automatic character recognition in the postal sorting machines.

I would have envisaged that Nuns would float instead of drifting.

A friend of ours lives in a house called "the Nunns" (note the double N).
Nunns it seems are a kind of duck!
Near to where we live is a lane called "Dumb Woman's Lane" surely a contradiction in terms?
Oddly enough Spike Milligan's house was in this lane,and he sure wasn't dumb.
To finish a poem for the wondeful alte lamemted Spike.
"Bump"
The things that go "bump" in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear that lets in the fear.
That and the absence of light.

My aunty (the nun) has been known to drift off to sleep during Coronation Street, but doesn’t everyone?

I have a street near me and is called “Lulworth Avenue” Once a friend of mine (estate agent) asked me that any Asians he showed any house in that street they decided against it. Why? “Had you known about the meanings in Urdu, Hindi or Punjabi then you would have done the same thing”. I said

Of course I`m sure you know, Naomi, that there are quite a few men in the Bible with the name Nun. Maybe they all ended up on your road!
