hilldweller Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Where does this name come from, and how do I pronounce it please ? "Port Mawn" ?? In my family it was always referred to as " Put Me On ". The only aspect of Put Me On I can remember was the open green painted iron gent's urinal that stood in the middle of the street. Just like the one in "Ello Ello" that was demolished by Gruubers little tank. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I did think that Port Mahon may have named after a Napoleonic event, but looking at Portobello Street may have been out by a mere 100 yrs ish, here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Mahon and here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Porto_Bello might still be wrong.

ukelele lady Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 In my family it was always referred to as " Put Me On ". The only aspect of Put Me On I can remember was the open green painted iron gent's urinal that stood in the middle of the street. Just like the one in "Ello Ello" that was demolished by Gruubers little tank. HD There were also a horse trough and a telephone box at the side of the " iron duke " The girls used to dare one another to run through the urinal and out the other end. Some of them did it but I can't put my hand up to being one of them. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
