... not fogetting the sychophantic obsession with demonstrating loyalty to the Brittish crown e.g. Londonderry.

Perhaps it is the fragile ego that causes Texans to carry such big guns around. John, would you know anything about this?

Right next to Dullingham, I see. There must be great nightlife there.

I preferred Frankenberry as a child. (Higher sugar content.)

I started, for the lack of anything better to do, typing words into Google Maps and seeing if I got any hits. When I tried 'stink' it took my to Cambridge and presented a list of 7 hotels with stink in the review.

I don't know if any of the Indian city shares name with any other one outside Indian sub-continent.

Oregon and Tamil Nadu both have a Madras and a Salem.

You forgot Salem, Massachusetts, home of the Salem Witch Trials....

Yah, right. .... Texas comes from Tejas, a Mexican name borrowed in part from a Native American word for the people of the area. We Texans are a proud bunch, so proud that we post road signs to warn people, saying: Don't Mess With Texas![^]

Believe me, there is nothing fragile about Texans, especially their egos! For bragging rights, Texas is the birthplace of four US Presidents (Dwight David Eisenhower, Lyndon Baines Johnson, George Herbert Walker Bush and George W Bush! Texas is the largest state of the contiguous 48 (only Alaska is bigger). Texas fought Mexico for its freedom and became a nation, then it gave up nationhood to became a state. We are so proud of our state that many of us hang the state flag as a living-room wall decoration.
