Is Zagan Poland a place or is Zagan in Poland....Every time I drive into Duns past the cemetery and see the sign I ask myself this question.
 

I think you should be told.
 

"Zagan is a small, picturesque, town with a population of around 14,000 in the south west of Poland. During the Second World War, the forest around Zagan (then located deep in Germany and named Sagan) was the location of the infamous Stalag Luft III, and the 'Great Escape' where 76 prisoners of war escaped by a man made tunnel from the German Luft Waffe prison camp. The escape, made famous by the Hollywood movie starring Steve McQueen, resulted in all but three of those who escaped being recaptured and 50 executed contrary to the Geneva Convention. The former grounds of the Stalag Luft III at Zagan are now part of a Polish military training area. Near the former camp site is small, but interesting museum, and some recently erected monuments. More about the Great Escape. Zagan was also the birthplace of the German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler."

This is the result of googling ' Zagan'

It seems as if I am bucking the trend-tunnelling in rather than out!
 

Very helpful info, was the film 'Chicken Runn' also based on the area around Zagan. I feel I should go and paint a coma between Zagan and Poland.
 

I think you mean Comma. Coma is a condition familiar to the Borders (and possibly also in Zagan) after a heavy Sunday Lunch and in the Berwick Caravan community from (being charitable) 7 pm onwards
 

I want to transfer an n from 'runn' to 'coma' and then double my bid!

That's what comes of trying to do something too quickly. Heading off back into my comma.
