How to get a town named after you...

Just got off the phone with one of our most snotty nosed, uppity clients. They guy rang to change his address in our database, seem’s he went out and bought some town in country Victoria and renamed it after himself.

Poor residents, bad enough to have this man living in your area, let alone being constantly reminded of him each time you jot down your address.

Good grief, this can still be done in this day an’ age? What about the postal authorities? Wouldn’t this guy have to go through hoops an’ triplicate forms t’ get his moniker on an entire burg?

Maybe said burg is two stores, a barn and an old fogey named Joe. If so, who would worry?

I hope he enslaved the towns people and put them to work in his goldmines

Was his name Rupert or Kerry?

Said town has its own postcode and all.

I don’t know how big the place is but next time I’m in the area I aim to find out.

EggNog I dunno about putting the townspeople to work slaving in his goldmine but the guy sure has a thing for cartographic accuracy so maybe he has them slaving over maps & atlases instead.

And sorry Crusoe his name isn’t Rupert or Kerry :slight_smile:
