Patronage



You die and are canonised a hundred years later after a life of virtue and a holy martyrdom at the hands of rabid traffic wardens. The three miracles that got your sanctity validated were answers to prayers for one man's athelete's foot problem, a nationwide lowering of council tax bills and a urgent circular by the Bishops of England and Wales for the Latin Mass to be made more widely available in each and every parish church in the land, drawn up at the annual 'Pope Benedict XVI Appreciation Society Gala'. What do you want to be named after you?

a) A mountain
b) A bottle of wine
c) A church
d) A hospice
e) A lake
f) A street
g) A river
h) A packet of cigarettes
i) A hospital
j) A school
k) A prison
l) A wastewater management firm
m) A new disease
n) A launderette
o) A newsagents
p) A brand of chutney
q) A locksmiths
r) A floristry
s) A volcano
t) A dental practice
u) A zoo
v) An island
w) A forest
x) A dance move
y) A lighting shop
z) A fishmongers
