Ooooh...
I'm having a vague memory of a children's story- sort of a child's
Utopia sort of thing, to have a well full of treacle instead of water.
It is likely English (they seem especially fascinated by treacle) and it
may well be something Lewis Carroll, but there's also a story by (I
think) Edward Lear that has four children who go to sea in a teakettle
with a quangle-wangle and they kept landing places that had weird things
like that. I can picture the illos but can't remember the title.
Doncha hate getting old?
