sNottingham!!!!

today, i found out that Nottingham was originally called SNOTTINGHAM.. which is a combination of the words SNOT and HAM. hahahahahahaha. i just find that really funny ;)

the first settlers were called the snots because, well, diorang selalu lap hingus kat hujung sleeves la. and the word HAM is not a reference to ba alif ba ya, but apparently ham means settlement. (or perhaps there was a pun intended??)

when the french came , the could not pronounce the 's' so it became Nottingham. so i guess fellow brits in nottingham have a reason to thank the french after all ;P

coll kan?? :D
