I've been to ****t (the one in Orkney, I believe there are others),
and over in Cheshire there's Peover Superior and Lower Peover.

I'm told the locals pronounce "Peover" to rhyme with Belvoir. As is
only proper.


The latter is correct although not known to the vicar of a friend's church
many years ago when she was leaving to move to Peover. There was a collection
and presentation at which the vicar uttered the words "I hope you will take
this with you to Peover as a memory of our church and village"
