Woolhampton station used to be called Woolhampton, but then people kept sending it stuff for Wolverhampton, which is much bigger and a long way away, so they changed it.

Other times Woolhampton came up

  1. Also I just realized it's the Edinburgh Fringe so there'll be more people from Berkshire here than there are from Edinburgh. It does sound bad. It also did really affect the nearby village of Woolhampton, but that doesn't have a funny name, so it's got no airtime. The invasion of sheep there two years ago was hysterical. Midgham, I think, having Googled it, is not interesting in any other way.
