This just made me think of "The Meaning Of Liff", which defines a "Sheppey" thus:

Sheppey (n.) "Measure of distance (equal to approximately seven eighths of a mile), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque."

:rofl:

I thought Sheppey was an island - cut off from the mainland in a time warp :mask::mask::mask::mask:

I thought that was the Isle of Wight, isn't it....? :rofl:

For anyone unfamiliar with it, "The Meaning of Liff" (co-authored by the late great Douglas Adams) is a book that takes many British town, village and place names and assigns spurious but very funny definitions to them, in order to create words for things that currently have no word but really ought to - another favourite of mine is "Throcking", which describes the action of forcefully wiggling the handle of the toaster in an attempt to release a jammed slice of toast...... :D
