Thurso, Quebec, Canada - the home of my all time favourite ice hockey hero.

Also, there is Wick, Ontario. I have a painting of its parish church hanging in my living room.

Not very exciting I know but this is a Wick in Dursley, just off the A46, Just to the west of pensylvania, England, Nearish Bath. Its only a sign but we had to go there once seeing the signpost!!

Sad eh!!!
