I was racking my brains for a Hector then BOOM! Seeing your picture transported me straight back to being a Child!

Hector's House wasn't it?

So weird seeing and recognising that picture.

Been in my brain all that time but had never been required! ?

There are some crazy choices IMHO - Vauxhall Grandland euk, Dacia Sandero Stepway and of course one that matches it's look Nissan Puke oops sorry Juke. All of them dreadful names.

Very comfortable I seem to remember.

One of my favourites is a motorbike called 'The Intruder'
Just sounds wrong.?

Isis, another word that has been hijacked.

Originally an Egyptian Goddess, also an alternative name for the River Thames, used from its source in the Cotswolds until it is joined by the Thame at Dorchester in Oxfordshire, and of course the name of the Oxford University reserve boat crew for the boat race.
