Wandering around Norfolk the other day, we came across the signpost in the picture below. I did wonder how I’d explain it to the couple of Americans who were looking at it.
They must have been a tad bemused wondering what the verb “to hickle” meant –
I hickle, You hickle, He/She hickles, hicleorum, hickleis, hickleis.
Now that takes me back 45 years to my Latin classes in school.
You do wonder if she’s in any way related to someone Terry Wogan used to suggest lived near Junction 29 of the M6 – the Preston Turn-off.

Just a thought.
