        ( ... I thought 'nearly quarter past six (just before tea)' was a reference to one of those obscure Northern customs )

                        Is it Peterborough?

                        Its football team are known as The Posh which would link to "Posh" Beckham.

                        Alternatively, Portsmouth?

                        Pomp and Circumstance (Elgar), Pompey etc.

                          It is indeed Peterborough. now you need Ed and Don, the former lived and died there though not born here, the latter a native of the City.
