There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

[Abdul Abulbul Amir]

Here's one that I don't think google has the answer to:

What English place name has six consonants together with no vowels between them.

(For Didge - consonant: that's any letter except a,e,i,o,u.)
