So what have you seen on your travels?

"Lake" where there is no water.
The "Needles" you cannot thread.
"Ryde" where you walk.
"Cowes" you cannot milk.
"Freshwater" you cannot drink.
"Newport" you cannot bottle.
"Winkle street" where there are no Winkles
"Newtown" which is very old
All places on the isle of wight, is about as good as it gets here
