I was in the car with my family, and we were visiting my Sister at her work, and we also dropped her off at her house. On our way back, though, we noticed a few signs that stated how far away London is. You know, those signs that go "(City Name) X Miles". It was out of the way, though, so we didn't really care to visit Ohio's London.
So, how often do you see places that have the same names as others?
London, Kentucky! Manchester, Kentucky! Versailles, Kentucky!
York is infinitely more awesome than New York because it has vikings, and lots of 'em.
I know for a fact that there's also a Glasgow in Kentucky.Quote:

We also call them Yorkshire men.Quote:

There's a Washington in Britain, too. :jess:

In California:
PG: I come from Ontario. Took an 8 hour plane ride here.
Californian: YOU FLEW 8 HOURS FROM ONTARIO HERE? ONTARIO IS RIGHT OVER THERE *POINT*

Calfironian: HE'S A CANADIAZN BURN HIM

I want there to be a Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in the USA.
I was in Belfast, Maine when I was 10.
Couldnt have been any more different.
York has vikings, but New York has the brains behind the :viking: smiley.Quote:
