[steventhorpe]

thanks mate. and im new to this website how do i reply to you other than putting in TEXT in the form as an answer??

[didoatwork]

I think that it's the only way. I've only been on here for a short time too.

[steventhorpe]

thanks, can you get the other ones?? or have they got you stumped?

[didoatwork]

I'm still thinking about them, but stumped at present. Will let you know if I get the others.

Hi Steven, There is a Preston in Yorkshire, but I can't believe that this would be the right answer for 1. It's more likely to be an anagram of a Lancashire town.

[TheWinner]

I think number 1 could be an anagram of Burnley, to make Leyburn ?

[didoatwork]

Brilliant!

[TheWinner]

Cheers didoatwork! You are pretty clever yourself!

[didoatwork]

(Smiles embarrassingly!)

[steventhorpe]

thanks you 2 just one more to get keep trying pls

[didoatwork]

Which one?

[didoatwork]

Oh sorry!

[steventhorpe]

female owns this town??? 12 letters, origionally thought mablethorpe but that only 11 letters

[didoatwork]

I thought that too, but apparently it's not quite in Yorkshire!

[didoatwork]

Sorry Steven, still no luck with last one. Hope it doesn't keep me awake. Off to bed now. Will let you know if I think of anything.

After trawling through my map of the world for half an hour, I've found Kelleythorpe, just outside Driffield.
Hope this helps....

Hi,bobthefisherman, I found Kelleythorpe in the list of Yorkshire place names,Conisbrough (only 11 letters) Herringthorpe but most of the ones I thought fitted had 11 letters. I've spent ages trying to get this answer but I give up for tonight-long past my bedtime.
