Used to drive past there to games from the Dressers . Was it the Hordon Rake? And what was the massive pub further on on the left. Think now a supermarket.

Yes Horden Rake.

Big pub up the road was The Beechwood, then changed to The Oak Tree.

Mon dieu!   Yes it means the anvil I think.  I’m actually doing a bit of Duolingo french as I’ve a trip to Paris booked . The gender thing is driving me mad.  Cat is masculine pizza feminine??? Why?  What ? 

[gumboots]

Nothing to do with gender of object. It's from the old Latin system of 5 declensions. It's just how the words were formed in the original Latin. Just make sure you learn the gender along with the word. I used to teach French (1976 to 2015) so I know a bit about it.

Lee Mack after a waiter corrected his french grammar:

'It's not feminine, it's an egg custard. I want to eat it, not f*** it!

See I speak fairly decent Spanish and think that if you have the vocab you can blag the rest .... learning genders is new 

[gumboots]

But Spanish has genders, hasn't it?
