Did they delete their statues?
We have a Newcastle here that is full of loving mental cases. We also have a Toronto.
I was wondering this just yesterday actually, and this has given me a good excuse to enquire.
What do you call people from Newcastle, Australia or Newcastles, USA?
We call them Geordies (but this also applies to people around the Newcastle area), although the name is derived from sources besides the name of the city.
What's the case with places like Oxford, London or Manchester, where we may call the people Oxonians, Londoners or Mancunians?
Do you use the same word for people in identically named towns/cities, or do you use different ones?
Or with other names for people that don't directly relate to the name of the place they live, like Scouser?
