Since the grandad of chit chat feels so strongly about Newham and its takeover by third world vagabonds, should chit chat raise an army to retake the fallen ground in the name Great Britain?

Thanks to those people who have taken the time to reply with suggestions. If I haven't updated my list with your 'ham it would be due to lethargy and that the list is getting longer than I expected and, frankly, due to that very fact I am rapidly going off the idea. Any omissions should not be taken as a personal slight. |

p.s. I have tried to assemble the lists in alphabetical order so if anybody else was thinking of suggesting Ham, please go to the section beginning with "H" and see if it has been listed there.

Depending on your age, Inspector, you may have, or may have not, visited 2 places on your list. OY!!! You can't have West Ham and East Ham, as they no longer exist, unless you visited there before 1965, which was when they were separate entities, then they were merged to form the wonderful multicultural haven of Newham Other West Ham trivia for those who have never read it before,there can't be many left on here now... Thames Ironworks F.C. used to play their matches at the Memorial Grounds in West Ham. In 1904 they became West Ham United and moved to 'Upton Park' or 'The Boleyn Ground', whichever you prefer, as they are the same place. What does all this mean I hear you ask... I'll tell you... It means that West Ham United have NEVER played a match in West Ham. The entrance gates in Green Street are in West Ham, but the pitch itself is well back from the road, and is across the border, in East Ham. ----------------------------------------------------------------- However, you can have Westham on your list to visit, if you have not already done so. It's about 5 miles away from Eastbourne, near Pevensey Castle, and where my dad's sister lived for 45 happy years. |

I will for ever defer to your greater knowledge, CMAT, of this particular corner of the great metropolis but your use of the present tense in the above sentence would indicate that the nomenclatures are still in current usage and they certainly were when I passed, rather quickly I might add, through the locality first in the early 1980s. I have been there since and enjoyed a good old jellied mash and eels, or something, and a knees up with a local cockney geezer chap by the name of Mustafa. In other news, I thank everyone for their contributions, however, I have looked some of the places up on Google Maps and they appear to consist of a hedge. If we could keep to 'hams with at least some point of interest such as their own newspaper, a choice of pubs, a brothel or a mosque I would be most grateful.  |

Point taken, Clouseau.
Egham (nr Staines) Caterham Caversham (a disrict of Reading) Cookham (Berks, nr Maidenhead). A couple of nice pubs and an excellent Indian restaurant. Medmenham, which I mentioned earlier, is little more than a hamlet but is of some historical significance. |

I was born and raised in West Ham, and would NEVER say that I was from Newham to anybody who asked where I was from. Even 'West Ham' has its own version of 'who's who'. Most of the people who watch east end telly programmes have heard of Canning Town. Even Britain's greatest living actor, Mr Danny Dyer, says he's from Canning Town. In truth, he's from Custom House, the same as me, but nobody has heard of it. It's a much smaller area within the MASSIVE E.16 postal district that covers both CH and CT, plus Silvertown and North Woolwich. You get a better class of hooligan from Custom House |
