  Creator here: thanks Max for posting this. I created this after driving around the UK a lot and marvelling at the variety of places. I wanted a fast-feedback way to explore patterns.

  Thoughts and feedback welcome!

  (my main is blocked by 100000000 second noprocrast, does anyone know how to fix this?)

  Towns ending "-by" and "-thorp(e)" seem to be quite clustered in geographical location.

  And the division betwene "kirk" and "church" in names is suprisingly stark.
