@Philippe: Kinda opposite to metric, old avoirdupois or hexagesimal with the "first" in the past weeks. It was "6th", now it's "12th" (after show), or "20th" (total). Though 20th total would be metric, and vigesimal.

I'm convinced that Gus Bodenheim is the kind of man who would, during a protracted oration when suddenly overcome by a sudden and unexpected urge, exuberantly release a resonant burst of flatulence and simultaneously strike a match with a flourish and waft it around while continuing to speak as if nothing untoward had happened in a display of elegant grace which other unsophisticated mortals, like myself, would fail to muster with such deft nonchalance. At least, that's the vibe I get.

Hmm, Canterbury's is apparently "Cantuar". Since they have a University now, it's also used in their abbrs. Ultimately Canterbury and Kent come from the local tribe, the Cantiaci, and Canterbury as "Cair Ceint ("stronghold of Kent").
