  From the latest DDC planning list, I think this has been mentioned somewhere on here before but will be interesting to find out what a "Sui Generis" is.

  Possibly some sort of water-wheel? Could look nice. It's quite a rural location.

  I think it is just a word that is in fashion, the Folkestone Road hub operates a few doors from me. I think is for Yoofs - maybe teaching them how to nick hubcaps?

  I believe that being for the 'yoof', who are known for their noisy high spirits, if you look above the door you will find it was originally called the Folkestone Road Hubbub, but some of the little scamps have taken the last three letters , probably as a jape.

  This is the excellent update of the standard Oxford Chaucer by F. N. Robinson. It has been updated and revised to keep in step with modern Chaucer scholarship, and has extensive notes, background and bibliography.

  That's useful to know. The 'Folkestone Road hubbe' makes a lot more sense.

  In passing, O learned one, while most of us can remember the Wife was famously gap-toothed signifying sensuality and lust, it would appear that the same 'attributes' are assigned to like women in (for example) parts of Africa. Any idea why? https://ugotreasure.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/there-is-beauty-in-a-gap-tooth/

  Perhaps take it up with Monsieur Barthes or another semiotician?
