Pale cunts as far eye can see, hopefully you had sunglasses upon arriving
Actually I'm glad to say there was plenty of diversity.

New Americanism just dropped: there were some 12yo boys hanging out at the bus stop yesterday and they decided to go to the 'gas station'.

Another 'ghost' Germanic word that occurred to me

:

Jeg tror = I think (that)
Shakespearean English: I trow
perhaps from the same root as 'true'
I love this kind of thing. There are a couple of bus stops near here still called 'Sandsend Garage' and 'The Red Lion' although the petrol station/garage closed years ago. I'm not sure how many, 20? and The Red Lion is now called the Stiddy. There's no trace to the naked eye that there was a petrol station there now. The Boyes in town has an air conditioner thing from a company that no longer exists as well. And they've just in the last few days switched their CCTV displays from CRT to flat screen.
I did have a conversation with some friends a while ago about what is the oldest computer still working (at its job, not as a novelty), and we thought probably Voyager 1 (1977) - obviously you can't go and switch it for a newer model.
