Re: A Reasonable Drive (was: Re: Do Britain, Great Britain, The British Isles and the United Kingdom describe the same thing?)

And I used to live just down the road from Paris, whilst also a
reasonable drive from Rome, Denmark, and Ithaca.

By my definition of a "reasonable drive", I'm not to far from Berlin
(2), Paris, Mexico, Norway, Oxford (3), Carthage, Cambridge (2),
Gloucester, Dover (4), Calais (2), Madrid, Manchester (4), Moscow,
Worcester, Portland, Boston, New Boston, and probably others you'd
recognize.

Of course, I'm also a "reasonable drive" from Ossipee, Chocorua, East
Sebago, Vinalhaven, Mattawamkeag, Winooski, Assonet, Mashpee,
Nashaquitsa, Aquinnah, Siaconset, Poquonock, Wheatogue, and that's not
even getting as far as New York.

(Where a "reasonable drive" is not more than about six hours.)


By that definition when I lived in Brussels I was within a 'reasonable drive'
of London, Paris, Amsterdamn, Frankfurt, Luxembourg and Strasbourg, not to
mention Dover (1). The real ones, in each case.
