A tribute to b3ta
I've decided to get my car new licence plates. They've not arrived yet, but you can get the idea from the sticker they sent on ahead

Ohio is a suburb of Manchester.

That doesn't surprise me,
I bet if we named a little village New York, the yanks would winge about it.

most of america
is named after other places, so its not surprising
(VashTheStampede, Sat 21 May 2005, 17:18, archived)

The thing about original place names
is that they mostly mean really stupid things that have become forgotten through overuse, such as ox-ford. This was all very well in the distant past, but in the modern age names like "Great Sandy Desert" and "Bend" just don't give a new place the right kind of enigmatic dignity.

Yeah,
I agree.

All the housing developments where I live are named after what they built over
"Laurel Acres, Oak Glenn, Shady Brook"
It's sad.

There's an Ipswich too
and just like the one in England, it's in the middle of nowhere. There's one in Australia as well, in New South Wales (near Dubbo, which is a great place name.)
