It’s Dundee, I think.
Aber = mouth of
Tay is the river that runs through Dundee

What 1889 book is an account of its lead characters’ attempt to holiday up the River Thames?

Three Men In A Boat (& not forgetting the dog) by Jerome K. Jerome
One of my favourites; highly recommend if you haven’t read it. I’ve even got an Audio version read by Hugh Laurie (the perfect voice for it) somewhere.

When I was a kid listening to Saturday afternoon football results, I used to get Walsall (as HC says a market town in the West Midlands) confused with Warsaw (a considerably larger conurbation then firmly behind the Iron Curtain)
Because I was clearly a bit of a thick kid, which other football league team did I also think were interlopers from a foreign land?
