    Brilliant thread SPD :)


    I wonder if some townships just didnt have imagination and thought OH bugger it lets call the town Springfield ;) ( funny I like the name, conjours up a summery warm feeling )

    plus many US and Australian towns are named are named after UK towns/citys.... guess the prisoners... oops settlers decided to call the place they setup shack after their old town/city :)

    I've always found that a bit curious that someone would name a place, they just settled, after a place they just fled or were thrown out of. We also have a lot of place names here that are Native American in origin.

    Me too, sad but true i've spent many an hour looking at maps around the world for place names and seeing how many times they repeat, my home city of Liverpool has a few sibblings around the world :D
