Apparently this lake was called the Der in one of the early versions of language in England - until there was a new lot of people whose word for water was Went - so when they saw a large body of water called the Der they called it Derwent
Then you can fill in what the third lot did!

I know this is really really REALLY sad, and I can only think that I did it when I was off sick some time, but I've got a list of minister's cat categories! ph34r.gif blush.gif blush.gif blush.gif

I'm just wondering if I can register myself as another username in order to post it because it's so embarrassing to admit this! laugh.gif

Skylark, I think it's really useful that you have a list - post it quick!
