>      Question;-   What  is   Tunbridge Wells?.

Not what, but where?  It is (was!) a very genteel town in Kent - South East
England for the geographically challenged.  (England is part of an island on
the Eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean.)

Many years ago, "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" was the pseudonym used by a
regular correspondent to (I think) the BBC - or was it The Times
newspaper? - and the phrase has since been absorbed into the language.

Mike (old enough to remember, but not as old as uncle Geoff.)
