You know how Chicago's known as 'the windy city', well that must be difficult on the tourism trying to attract visitors.
Travel Agent : "Any idea where in America you would like to go?"
Couple: "Well what do you suggest?"
Travel Agent: "Well, we have Chicago, the windy city or New York, the city what never sleeps"
Couple: " What city is known as the 'really nice to go on holiday to' city?"
Isn't it about time New York dropped the 'New' anyway. It's really old now. It should be relegated to just 'York' and York in England should now be Old York.
These names seem silly. I live near a place called Mountain. You can see for a long way over the valley so I can see the thinking behind it but it's a short sighted way to name a place. Surely it's obviously going to cause confusion when you are on another village high up. It would be no surprise to me that the same people had called the surrounding villages "Flat Green Bit" and "Very Treey".
