Town Names

Julia looks on suspiciously. Only her eyes are fully illuminated. Text: Have you ever noticed how several of our towns & cities are named after places in Britain and India? Dunedin after Edinburgh, Clutha after the river Clyde, Bombay after Mumbai, and Cashmere after Kashmir to name four. They were so embarrassed they changed their names to avoid us.

Dunedin after Edinburgh, Clutha after the river Clyde, Bombay after Mumbai, and Cashmere after Kashmir to name four.

They were so embarrassed they changed their names to avoid us.
