I honestly don't know if this is even close or not, but Gainsborough Central? Open floor if correct, given I'm not around much at the moment.

Oh, and in case you guys didn't notice, this post takes the thread into five figures! Thank you to all of you guys for making it such a fantastic success and a role model for the Quiz Forum as a whole: stimulating, challenging, daring, fresh and above all, fun. Not to mention it's created its own legend or two, most obviously that of Twerp (most recently visited by me about 33 hours ago).

Here's to the next 10,000 posts!

I'm just glad I walked in on 9,999 because I seriously wanted this post (as OP) and knew we were close!
