Well they've done it - they've renamed the Gulf of Mexico

[Mammasaid]

Oh no they haven't...



It's only been changed for the terminally orange...

[Riley Blue]

American Ocean West, American Ocean East....

I'm surprised the lump of land in the middle hasn't been renamed simply 'America' but I guess that won't happen as Amerigo Vespucci was an illegal boat person.

It's a bit odd to name something after someone's first name, the surname would be more usual, so it should have been Vespuccia. He also had other names so it could equally have been Alberta.

The Gulf of Integrity...?

This, or go the other way and reduce them all to serial numbers.

Pfft, we should just give it a name that reflects its role : the "Garlic, string of onions and stripy shirt moat".



There's an episode of "The Sweeney" in which the main criminal character flies to France in a light aircraft. We know it's France because as the plane taxis by, there's a man on a bike wearing a stripy shirt carrying a string of onions

Hey Mexico, you thinking what I'm thinking?

The original California, which it is named after, was and still is in Mexico.

Hopefully that’s the sort of crude stereotype we’ve moved away from nowadays: the guy on the bike, was he surrendering?

No, he was running away - that's the trouble with those foreigners you see, they've got no backbone

I love those old programmes!

Are we saying that all Frenchmen do not wear striped shirts, carry onions and ride bikes, except on the odd occasions when they drive 2CVs across ploughed fields carrying boxes of eggs?
I must get out more!

Hey cool, a new fun fact for me.

[DickyC]

If they used place names from the UK we could really take the Mick.

Oh.
