	I'm an American, which would seemingly make this tough, but I'm from Virginia, so I've seen a lot of these names before. Great quiz!

	What about Silchester in Reading?

	Who else tried Podcaster? I thought there might be a "new town" with that name. :) Also, Roy of the Rovers is disappointed that Melchester isn't a bonus!

	Have you got any Ilchester, he asked, expecting the answer no?

	What about Ebchester in County Durham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebchester

	Grantchester, just outside Cambridge? http://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/Classic%20Poems/Brooke/grantchester.htm

	@laughing_mariner - sells a lot of cars though, which is why I tried it.

	To fulfill the premise, should the quiz include -xeter places? They're derived from the same root too.

	Fulchester (VIZ) should defo be a bonus. Famous for Billy the Fish!

	Does anyone else find the name Godmanchester really funny? Also I'm suprised that only 25% of people got Colchester. I'd have thought that would be top 5 at least.

	Got Tadcastle and Cirencester and managed to miss Rochester, the town that I live in. Fail.

	Anyone else try Borchester?

	Fruitbat:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 23:25 GMT		5 points
	Yep, I tried Borchester. Also Barchester. Another couple of potential boni methinks.

	Funny, I always thought it was spelled "Leister". Oops.

	Whoo, stratocaster bonus!

	Rocester -where they make JCBs

	It used to make me laugh when we lived near Towcester and got letters addressed to Toaster :o) Little things ... ;o) Great quiz; didn't realise how many I knew until I started thinking ... missed one of the most got tho!!

	Grantchester definitely needs to be added, for a small village it's relatively famous thanks to the poem!

	johnnyforeigner:	Jun 30th, 2011 at 21:45 GMT		3 points
	Yes, I'll second Kitimat88, Grantchester has international fame thanks to the Pink Floyd song. Apparently it has the world's highest concentration of Nobel Prize winners... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grantchester
