Default Dorking...is it a REAL place?

I've often heard it mentioned, but I'm not sure it's a real town. I can understand Barking: it's where loads of dogs lived. I understand Epping and Wapping: it's like teeming and lading....but "Dorking"?

Is it what Dorks do...or what happens to unwary visitors if they go there?

It's where Dorks come from. I heard Reckless Eric say so - at a gig in the... wait for it... Dorking Halls.
