KelvinD,

You obviously can't tell your "a"s from your "o"s!

It's actually Flin Flon, a Manitoba mining town. It's not an Aboriginal name as you might assume. It's named after a character in a book - Flintabbatey Flonatin!


I know Flin Flon sounds funny to Brits, but then I have to explain to my Canuck friends that names like Bryants Bottom, Pishill, The Wallops and The Slaughters are not joke names!
