Nearest places

I have edited the "nearest places" out of this page. Pratts Bottom is on the south-eastern fringe of Greater London, Thamesmead is right against the Thames, and Goodmayes and Becontree are on the North Eastern part of Greater London. In other words, the "nearest places" entries were completely wrong.

There's no apostrophe in the name. Shame about the juvenelia, but it's removed at least193.22.89.2 13:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pratt's Bottom is shown with an apostrophe on Ordnance Survey maps. CarolGray 17:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Etymological error?

This is stated in the article:

The meaning is likely to be valley of a family called Pratt.

Notwithstanding the citation, but if the place name was originally "Spratts Bottom" as also stated in the article, then wouldn't the meaning actually be valley of a family named Spratt? A minor point, but on first reading, the impression is that one of the statements is wrong. 71.200.138.188 (talk) 18:09, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pratt's Bottom and Admiral Insurance

Pratt's Bottom has featured in a UK commercial for Admiral Insurance where the name of the place is a road sign with the idiot man going "Let's name it after that place!" seeing a road sign then sighing uphappi;ly "Ohh!" when seeing the name of the road. The commercial was about Admiral's Multicover insurance covering house and car. The Admiral in the commercial is a woman who is a super-clever boss and the "helper" is a bumbling idiot bloke with a terrible neck-beard and a badly fitting suit. - 2A02:C7F:EDA0:6400:A036:49F4:5AA4:F1B3 (talk) 22:14, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
