I'm from near Pendle Hill and we used to sing a folk song about it at school.

Old Pendle, old Pendle thou standest alone
Twist Burnley, Clitheroe, Whalley and Colne
Where Hodder and Ribble's fair waters do meet
And Barley and Downham, content at thy feet.

There are lots of other verses! Sadly I can't remember them all

I just hope their surname isn't Hill.

I went to school with Pendella. Someone once told me she was conceived on Pendle Hill, but I'm not so sure about that.

They might call his brother Kendel.

JollyBear... do I know you? Did you learn that song at (whisper) Guide Camp?? And were ducks involved?

Don't say anything about it - Just comment on his lovely blue eyes or something.

Hello pussinwellies, I don't think so! I was never in the guides. There is a well known Guide camp close to where I lived though .
