Nice one, Jack, and sound advice, my friend.
Hallam is also an industrial suburb in the east of Melbourne.
I must admit, I'm warming to the 'Lambshank' as a nickname.
I was chuckling, thinking of the name 'The Crookes and Hallam Lambshank'...
LOL! I thought of the Hallam & Crookes connection just before I read that! Both Hallam and Crookes are also the names of parts of Sheffield. I have lived in both. Hallam is the larger of the two as it gives its name to a whole (political) constituency. It's also the name of the local Sheffield commercial radio station. Sadly, Jem Hallam was not the man Sam Crookes was!
[Hallam & Crookes were two union hit-men in the employ of the Sheffield Saw-Grinders' Union in the 19th century]
