Local Quiz :- Towns & Places in the British Isles

[maxymax]

Still struggling for the last 2 in this quiz.
1.How can you be right on target?
2.Maybe it's the rescue truck that pulls your broken down car.
Any help much appreciated.

2. Towcester?

[maxymax]

That is really interesting Cookiepuss because Towcester is something I have considered but there is no vehicle called a towster or anything similar! I will have to put that down unless I get a better idea. Thanks though.

[strathspey]

There's a Towyn in Wales!

[strathspey]

What about Hitchin for no.1

[maxymax]

I tell you what Strathspey they could both be right. Towyn was not in my Road Atlas but I found it in my wife's and I prefer it to Towcester. My only problem with it is that all the other answers are fairly large places. Hitchin is the only suggestion I have had for No.1 and I doubt I shall get anything better so thanks very much.

[DSJ]

I think it's TOWCESTER. They say dumpsters, roadsters, etc.

[maxymax]

Hi DSJ. I am very torn,because I know what you mean about dumpster etc but there is no word like towster.,whereas Towyn is I think pronounced tow in. Wish I could find an answer that did not have tow in the answer. A friend suggested Padstow!!

[strathspey]

Towyn can't be so small as it is in one of my reference books under towns and cities of UK.

[maxymax]

Strange Strathspey becauseTowyn is definitely not in my AA Road Atlas of the UK which admittedly is about 15 years old,although it is in my wife's 2006 Large Scale Britain Atlas. It really is a toss up because I can see pros & cons for both Towyn & Towcester. Help!!
