Variations of our lovely town... how many are out there?

[Castaway]

Just noticed an address in our companies database with the spelling Morcombe.

Atleast they got the b in, right??

[North Stand Shrimp]

The BBC got a different spelling every week last season, but they seem to have gone and had a word with themselves over the summer and sorted it out.

a few i've noticed are;

Moorcome
Morecam
Morecum
Morcame
Moorcambe

And that was just from the BBC last season!

Scunthorpe

[Plain Peter]

Gdansk-by-the-sea

I've seen something arrive through the post from the Channel Islands after the address was taken over the phone:

"Markham"

Maybe it's about time we took a stand for our own town's sake. Next time you get a Visa/Mastercard/Amex statement which mis-spells MORECAMBE, query it, refuse to pay it, say you've never heard of the place.
