(Melk)sham - fond local name for the town.    Got me thinking - how common are nicknames like this?  In my youth we always used to say we were going to "into Town" for trips to London which was about half an hour by train.  Is that saying still commonly used?

Sorry - it isn't; not even right county.  But it IS a very modern station server by rather fast trains
