I've heard of the one in England, but not the one in New England.... then again I live in Hawaii, about 7000 miles away from NE.

t_nunn said:Yeah, Virginia borrowed a lot of names from the English. Especially the eastern part of the state. Don't forget Gloucester, Surry (spelled differently), Middlesex, Northumberland, York, Brunswick and all of the other counties and towns named after specific people like Price William County, King George County and on and on.
Steve Smith said:Hello Simon.
I don't think I know the person you mentioned although the name does sound vaguely familiar. If he is of a similar age to me (41), we may have attended the same schools. Mayfield school is about 100 yards from the end of Jellicoe Road and Ryde High school is about half a mile further on - I attended both.
The Isle of Wight is still very nice but it is suffering, like everywhere else probably, from every spare tiny piece of land having far too many rabbit hutch sized houses built on it. Luckiliy, most of the Island is designated as agicultural or National Trust/AONB and can't be built on.

p.s. Where are you?

A friend's grandmother, whose ancestors landed from the Godspeed in 1607, had a stock reply for people who boasted of having their ancestors come over on the Mayflower, "We were gentlefolk, we came to Virginia."

And yet the Constitution was written by Virginians, for the most part. Don't tempt me, I can keep this up for days.Drew B. said:Oh, and don't forget, the US constitution was somewhat based on the Mayflower compact...signed just off shore.
