Staines on Thames

What a conundrum this conjures up! I had no idea that the fathers of Staines had decided to insult the Thames in this way as I remarked during tea with the "A" group at Sheperton! If I may speak as it were on behalf of "Old Father Thames" I have never been so insulted in my life by any suggestion that I am stained, either on my surface or on my bottom! What would Barbara say if I suggested that her underwear had "Staines"?
Graham retorted by saying that Irene has some wonderful pictures in her abode (in Staines) of Staines in all it's pristinen glory in the old days when it was referred to as just plain "Staines"!
