Was the the five minute argument?

"Dear America,

Please think up your own town names and stop stealing ours.

Love,
England"

[Brian Gaff]

However, they originally named them as per ours as they were us to start
with.
New names needed then.
Lots of possibilities. One could just mix and match bits from the uk
towns.
Bolghton
Or lansester etc.

Merkins. They drive on the wrong side of the road, and can't get their
dates in the right order.

They also think that crossing out "S" for Sterling twice makes a nice
abbreviation for Dollar.

Nice theory, sadly at odds with the facts. See
'Symbol source book : an authoritative guide to international graphic
symbols'; Dreyfuss, Henry; McGraw-Hill; 1972.

which claims it is a modified version of the Spanish Peso symbol. And
the Dollar is derived from various european currencies, going back to
the Thaler

So this Australian sitting opposite leaned forward and said, "You
know mate, you Yanks bloody amaze me. You get it all arse-backwards. You
drive on the wrong side of the road... You write your dates
back-to-front... Your light switches are upside down... You eat with your
fork in the wrong hand... And *now* -- you've gone and thrown the wrong
bitch out of the window!"

The Europeans think that double-crossing "C" for "cent" makes it worth more.

There's a Houston and Killellan in Scotland, but none of the others.

The rightpondian original of Houston is in Scotland just to the west of
that small fishing village on the Clyde called Glasgow.

American English is a different language to English. We're not a
dialect of any one language,but a language of our own.

Oy is not a misspelling of oi. It has a different meaning completely,
even though they are false cognates.with different etymymolgied. Oy is
no longer just a borrowing from Yiddish,It is informal American. we
don' have youf oi, We use 'Hey, you!. !much more instead.

We can't even speel "mini Tonka".

Oh yes, that's right, just blame the Scots ... I wonder how old Moscow,
Scotland, is ? I suspect, rather younger than Moscow (which I suddenly have
a wish to spell Moss-cow, dunno why). I like Gurglemaps' offer of "Moscow
near Scotland".

If anybody's really bored, try persuading someone to say Killellan in Welsh.


And then there's Dallas, of course. (chorus: "Where ?")

Sterling ? That's in Scotland too, isn't it ? Not far from Dollar, in fact.

Houston is in Renfrewshire but none of the these of course are in
England.

There's a Tolsta in the Utter Hebrides, made famous in the song "24
hours from Tolsta"

Indeed there is and it stands on the Volga Burn. Locals do pronounce it
Moss-Cow.

Really ? Good for them, on both counts. Or all 3, possibly.

I'd still be suprised if it's been there as long as the Moscow in the land of
Hrus. Not that there's anything wrong with being suprised.
