What or where is the Sham?

For the first time, there are three others I know too.....and CfN really ought to get one of these!

(Melk)sham - fond local name for the town.    Got me thinking - how common are nicknames like this?  In my youth we always used to say we were going to "into Town" for trips to London which was about half an hour by train.  Is that saying still commonly used?

Yes, I rather thought you would bag that one, stuving. 

Posting after midnight, so I'm now going to make a bid for B3. Cattewater, Plymouth, Devon, UK.
