A 4th Grader's Map of Great Britain

I couldn't decide, if I lived in one of these places, if I would be proud of the name or petition the local government to change it... place names have been changed before. Scranton, Pennsylvania used to be called "Skunk's Misery," for example. But perhaps it would be more fun just to keep the offbeat name.; January 26, 2009 at 10:46 AM
