Land to the east of Eden.
E-S would claim it to be this sainted Isle as being east of his boggy bothie-covered Eden. For me, of course, it would be my former domicile now served, at Heysam and Liverpool, with Packets connecting it with Nirvana.
(There could be a little sparky joke there but I don't know how the cables lie).
Place names can raise a smile due to their connection with vulgar ditties and the like. As a boy I was briefly mystified by both Ma and Pa getting the giggles when passing a signpost to Coleshill. Pa filled that gap in my understanding once Ma was out of earshot.
