When I was at school in Edinburgh, one of our chemistry teachers was
known
as Hobbit. He was from the North of England, and was short, pipe-smoking
and
hid his undoubtedly large and hairy feet in those odd shoes people used
to
wear- the ones like yellow plastic bridies.  His real name was
Broadfoot!
So, you're right- we do have hobbits, but have to import them.
