  • There's a village called Knockin in Shropshire on the Welsh Borders which has a shop called...the Knockin shop.:)

    Our lane in our Spanish Village used to be Division Azul (Blue Division). The Blue Division were a bunch of Spanish Fascists who foughr for Hitler in WW2.

    Glad to say it's now called Gerald Brenan after a British writer who lived in it in the 1920s and wrote a book about it. :)
