Heck, that's 10 minutes away from me by car! I can't believe I didn't know
that!

To be pedantic, the county of Tyne And Wear was abolished years ago, but
people are very slow to get used to this fact. It's now Washington,
Sunderland. Some people in Washington won't accept it and still use the old
address.

To any Americans who are following this thread and wondered about the
'Washington' reference, here's a little tidbit of info- Washington,
Sunderland was the ancestral home of George Washington's family and indeed
the house is still there. We have a major road in Sunderland called
'Wessington way'. Wessington was the 'olde English' form of 'Washington'.
The local football (soccer) team (Sunderland AFC) play in red and white
stripes, the colours from the Washington crest which also make up the Stars
and Stripes.

You can all wake up now ;-)
