I live in Charl_bury_ and spend a lot of time in _Bur_ton. Shaun, however,
comes from Edin_borough_, which the French, funnily enough, know as
Edin_bourg_.

They're all the same root. I'm not sure that the existence of one of them in
some dictionary or other, much though I like Chambers, really proves the
point.

cheers
Richard
