Then are people from Winchester Wincunians?
And yes, I’ve already got the possible joke about Wykhamists.
Dorchester, Dorcunians?

Wintonian.
I think Dorchester dwellers maybe Dorcastrians
People from Chester are therefore Cunians?
People from Ely are Cunts, I know that much. Well, some of ’em, anyway.
And those from Towcester?
Towpaths.
Actually Wintonians not Wincunians.
And it’s actually Wykehamist. I should know because I am one.
“And it’s actually Wykehamist. I should know because I am one.”
Wrong, it’s Wintonian from the city and Wykehamist from the school. I should know because I am both.
And my son is a Trantite!

I am in Wickham at this moment ( enjoying a beer now the pinkies have gone for another year ), yet was too poor ( or too stupid ) to be a Wykehamist.
Pinkies? Pikies, even.
Dorchester is referred to locally as “Dorch”, I’ve never hear of the people referred to in any way but presume Dorks or maybe Dochians.
The residents of Dorchester are known as Durnovarians.
It says so in Wikipedia. It must be true.
Ask them a question and they reply “I Durno”.

Of course. I was referring to Tim’s spelling, not his meaning.
Dulce domum!
And if Larry is short for Lawrence and Harry is short for Henry or Harold, why isn’t Barry short for Bawrence, Benry or Barold?
Bloke in Italy,
People from Chester are Divvies, not to be confused with their neighbouring ‘alians – Wirralians, that is.
The wiki page edit history is curious.
