Don't make eye contact with the locals My work colleague lived in Scunthorpe. Her late mother owned a fabrics/textiles/curtains shop and worked with her. She's quite prim and proper and I think Christian so I have avoided making reference to the swear word in the name. She refers to it as "Sunny Scunny".
