Win

Manics · 5 Jul 2009 at 16:39

I live in a town called Windsor. The first three letters used to spell the towns name are W, I and N.

When referenced in the current Oxford English Dictionary, we again see these same three letters, used in the same sequence, used to form the word "win".

For some time now I've been wondering if any forum readers might be able to beat that using their own home town names?

Well, I live in a twee village called Horspath and, the first three letters spell out your mother's occupation.
