    Woven in Scotland

    Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.

    Operator: 'Woven? Are you sure?'
    Caller: 'Yes.. That's what it says on the label -- Woven in Scotland ...'

    (I know, it's lame, but it's the best I could come up with this morning.)

    I would be more than happy to help search those towns. I plan to begin some research at a local pub this evening - where I'll working the "Distilled" region.

    Actually, after a decade and half of running some fairly large informational websites (school and city-destinations) I have seen and heard quite the oddity of questions. Very little surprises me these days but I still do crack a smile at things like that.

    If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.

    I thought Brewed and Distilled were right across from each other from the Fresh Spring Waters area.
