I am thinking Colchester Cocktail in its meaning off a mix of things but I wonder if it makes it sound like I will be reviewing cocktail bars, although clearly I would if I ever got the chance.<br /><br />OffYourTrolley I like your thinking, hackery does have many meanings. I wouldn't know about the driving as I haven't driven in 15 years, perhaps because of Dalston drivers. My license has the address on it that I lived at 5 places before this one.<br /><br />mothersalwaysright, it is indeed very near, we have been to the tea shop, when you order scones and jam they say "what kind of jam"?Hackney Hackettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347630584893406110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461352312598221845.post-63302672016807597542011-08-09T11:47:42.722-07:002011-08-09T11:47:42.722-07:00Leave it as it is – your heart will be forever Hac...Leave it as it is – your heart will be forever Hackney!<br /><br />Or – change the name (in manage Blog > Settings) so it makes sense, but leave the URL, so people can still find you.<br /><br />Or – export your blog and import it into another one with a better URL and more appropriate title.

My best friend is from Tiptree, very near I believe? Needless to say she doesn't actually live there anymore. Which I find disappointing, as I'd harboured dreams of visiting her in a little tea shop and eating Tiptree jam. Good luck with the "settling in" period.
