Or then there are the municipalities and communities near us: Sooke,
Saanich, Esquimalt and Nanaimo.

Tourist may be able to pronounce them but not correctly and to amusement of
the locals.

Colourless? What, like Whanganui, Pahiatua, Tauranga etc? How can you say
that Stephen?

We have good friends from college days in Oregon who live in Boring.
They tell me Dull and Boring are now "twinned" -- the Boring Community
group approved the relationship at their meeting Tuesday night.  Our
friends are visiting Dull in the Fall.

In the '60s we all went to college in the wettest part of Oregon, just
north of a town called Drain.  There must be a town somewhere looking
for a mate?  Hole-in-the-Floor?

New Zealand place-names are so colourless (boring?).
