There's a lot of proud areas between Washington and Boston that would never in a million years defer their regional identity to either.
It's just a reference to the end point of a string of cities.

Probably not, I never studied construction engineering in English.

I'm talking structures with wood-frame outer walls and insulation between framing.
Balloon framing has stud boards running all the way from the foundation to the roof (so if it was a 2 story house, you'd have a 2 story long board). It's not really used anywhere anymore since it needs very long straight wood. Modern wood framed construction is usually platform framing. You build each level separately out of shorter wood.

A challenge for anyone who hasn't heard it said: how do you pronounce Streatham?

I think it's streeth-um, pronounced like teething. But there is probably a local pronunciation that is completely different.

Just divide Europe up based on regional names for soda like they do in the U.S.

You are in one of the following regions:

- Soda
- Coke
- Pop
- Le Coke.

Are they regretful of Brexit, or of Being British? Both seem equally likely.

I'd guess white is 0 net Brexit support, all red is positive Brexit support, and all green negative.

There are two kinds of fizzy soft drinks, colas and lemonades, and Kofola is neither, on account of being a pharmaceutical industry byproduct that just happens to be reasonably safe to consume.

I've seen this map before but I never noticed a circle on Cape Cod. They think there's a "metro area" of a million people there? The whole county has like a quarter of that. What city are they trying to actually circle? Now that I look at it they're circling Portland as well, and I can't find any definition of Portland that ends up with more than half a million population.

I'm beginning to think a few of those circles do not in fact represent metro areas of 1 million people!

It's extremely flat and also very difficult to get to from anywhere because it has poo poo transport connections. Also part of it is called Holland and that is where Boston is.
