That means they'll pretty much be saplings, and we'll have to wait about 2,000 years for them reach full size. Colbert

The surname Spittle, of which I've known a few locally over the years, is derived from the word 'hospital'.

I've always presumed it was from a spittle of land.

I knew that. bowtie

Mostly because of Spital Hill in Sheffield.

Ooh look. You can see Sheffield's glamorous skyline from it. gasp
