Dear Dawn French…

Dear Dawn,

I have recently been musing on how the good city of London got its name. I have three theories that I wish to share with you:

1) London is a contraction of ‘Long Donut’, or ‘Yum Yum’ as they are also known
2) The city was founded by the good Rev. London in around 1785, as a present for his mother
3) The city is not in fact called London at all, but Mumpleford

What do you think?

Yours,

Herbert Rumbelow
