Not everyone knows where "Boston or Mansfield" is...

I can understand not knowing where Mansfield is, but Boston?

I thought it was the Americans who were supposed to be "geographically
challenged."

They don't under stand irony too it seems!

Only "heavy" irony, at least in this group.

They don't understand irony too, this is from another post:

Not everyone knows where "Southend" is... this is a world wide posting...
although now I can see that "nick" is in the "uk"... some information as to
Continent, Country, County and Town would be nice..

The city of Boston, MA, USA is named after the town of Boston, Lincs., UK.
I think that was the original poster's point -- which Boston?


All the best,

The city of Boston, MA, USA is named after the town of Boston, Lincs., UK.

People in Boston might tell you the name is a contraction of Saint Boylston's
Town.

The intersting thing is, when discussing Boston, no one has mentioned the real
risk of that city. It's driving. In Boston, it's a blood sport. Turn signals?
that's giving information to the enemy. There are actully a few intesections
that meet at 90 degrees, but, keeping in mind the streets followed the
origional cow paths, and the cows had a bad sense of direction, driving and
right of way is an adventure.

Then you have to park. I remember, it is considered bad taste to triple park,
unless you're connected. Double parking is OK.

In NYC when traffic is merging to get into a tunnel, there's this funny notion
that cars take turns. The guy on the right goes, then the guy on the left. In
Boston, the guy with the beat up car always has the right of way.

Drivers are much more polite in Dallas or Houston, but I think that's because
you're never sure if the guy in the car you're thinking about cutting off has a
gun.

If you're that ignorant of the area, then you should simply ignore the thread. The
original poster was asking for information, and he certainly can't expect that from
you, so why expect him to add a bunch of unnecessary data in order to allow you to
participate?
