abstract
  • The British Place Names Board is an agency of the British Government within the Ministry of Administrative Affairs, charged under Royal Warrant of 1306 with "the regulationn, creation, mortiffication and multiplycation of Good Names for Places under the Royalle Sway". In other words, it's job is to make the British place names as obscure and difficult to pronounce and navigate as possible, thus limiting Yankee tourism to the main cities and London. In addition, a hopelessly disoriented American is hilariously funny. And also, in the event of any war with America, like it could be any easier already we would easily be able to tell out American spies by merely asking them to read our road signs. For example, just say, Yorkshire. If they freaking laugh, or chuckle or gaffaw, then ... aw b'addy 'hewl jus' 'art 'alking an' see ih they' 'art laughing.
