“Lads, we need some new road signs for this street in Charlton – you know, we need to tell ’em we’re now a royal borough and all that. Can you sort that for me?”
“Of course, boss, what’s it called?”
“It’s called Sutlej Road. Runs between Marlborough Lane and Canberra Road.”
“How do you spell that, then?”
“It’s S-U-T-L-E-J.”
“Got that boss – leave us to it.”
“Good. And remember – it’s Royal Borough of Greenwich now.”
(In case you were wondering, Sutlej is a river in the Punjab. Thanks to Adham Smart for the tip-off.)
