- I made it from Manchester UK to Manchester USA.
If you're bored, here are the tweets:
Tonight I left #QEDcon in Manchester (England, UK) and have begun my epic journey to… Manchester (New Hampshire, USA). #man2man

In my journey from Manchester (UK) to Manchester (USA) I've made it as far as Woking where a bus has failed to exist. #man2man

For everyone in need of Manchester-to-Manchester update: the bus did appear (25 mins late). The M25 motorway is gridlocked. We've detoured.

For those keeping score on Manchester-to-Manchester: train and bus sections are complete. Just boarding the plane now. Final boss: hire car.

Manchester USA was every bit as Manchester, and every bit as USA, as I'd hoped. #manchester2manchester

When you asked a "local" 😂
They have phones in booths now? That's great now I don't need to carry around this stupid smartphone anymore.
I thought I had to live in a phone booth. Thanks for the info!
+Kathie only if it were blue and a police box...
Time machines too.
Taras Z. I have never found one in manchester.
I'm just imagining people that live here watching you make several takes of talking to a statue.
I heard they drive on the wrong side of the road in Manchester.
Huntracony 😂
Which one...? ;)
andrewxc1335 That's the joke.
Come to Ontario and visit London, Cambridge, Peterborough and Windsor.
There is a small village near where I lived in the Netherlands called America.
My favorite is George, Washington.
There's also Manchester, Massachusetts, which was renamed in 1989 to be Manchester by the Sea. It's in the North Eastern part of Mass - only a little over an hour from Manchester, New Hampshire
And here I am living in Manchester, Tennessee. x.x
Manchester 2 - Manchester 0
I hear that Paris, Texas is quite nice. Just wait until you see Mars, Pennsylvania.
Don't forget Earth, Texas.
And of course Hell, Norway and Hell, Michigan, USA.
we Germans have many names more than once. One of the most prominent: Frankfurt (Main) [in Hessen (middle)] and Frankfurt (Oder) [in Brandenburg (east)], but also Frankfurt (Markt Taschendorf) [in Bavaria (south)] and Stadt Frankfurt [in Sachsen-Anhalt (slightly in the north)]
But we also have four villages called "Poppenhausen" which fit into a circle of about 80km radius and even two small villages called "Hellingen" (one of which one Poppenhausen is part of) with a distance of 30 km...
Elchi King Wow! I'd heard that there were multiple Frankfurts, but having small towns with the same name is even more interesting.
There's a very small town near where I live that is called Peru.
You can now imagine the jokes that I make every time we go through.
I live near Holland and Wales. When people ask me where that is, I can honestly say it's near Ware.
Aaron Haviland Sweet :)
Aaron Haviland The funny thing about Peru is that it is tiny but dense: it contains a dozen houses, a guy that sells grills, an engine shop, a rehabilitation hospital, a liquid oxygen tank shop, and the local DMV.
Will you becoming to Massachusetts on your holiday?
Welcome to New Hampshire!
what about Manchester by the Sea in MA?
I've been to Manchester and Manchester By The Sea! (Not the one in the UK though)
Phonetically there should be enough sounds we can make in speech, to come up with a unique name for every place. I guess there are infinite numbers of names available.
You can actually just look at the length of the number of cities and generate pronounceable names of the same length, because 21 consonants and 5 vowels is pretty close to 100 possible syllables. Exclude "qa", "qe" "qi", "qo" und something else you dislike and you get exactly 100. A random source tells me there are 4000000 cities, so 7 syllables would be enough. Or 6 plus a leading vowel.

💪😣🤘
(mandatory patriotism complete)
How about Manchester, NY?
We do tend to steal the best stuff from the UK.
:( I wish we could!
Peg Y 2 words. Custard creams. (Although I may be misinformed about this, do you have custard creams in the US)
As happens with most of the best things we steal from the UK, we have poor knock-offs.
We haven't stolen him (yet). He's just on a temporary loan.
+User Name That would be what we call a Parker Parker.
and not a doona in sight
Birmingham2Birmingham too?
Does Manchester UN-united.... er, or maybe... Manchester United (States)?
HUEHUEHEUEHUE
Viva Manchvegas!
You should have come here in a few weeks to witness the apocalypse.
WhovianMinecrafter what happened?
That's not Manchester.
Thats not the real manchester
O
There is a large group of partnered cities with essentially the same name, mostly in Germany, some in a few other countries, which all translate to "new city" in English. That would be a pretty nerdy tour and a very confusing poster!
