Hiya,

>You called Boston, Massachusetts the "New Boston!"

Why not? It's newer than the one thats four miles north of here!

>I'm not sure what you consider new, Boston MA was founded
>somewhere around 1635.

Thats quite recent, I forget when Boston, Lincs. was formed but I'll lay
money it was quite some time before that. :-)

>St.Botoph's Town, for which is was named, or the English Boston.

One and the same?

As you said 'new' is relative, and Boston, Massachusetts *is* *newer* than
Boston, Lincolnshire, :. it is new Boston.

BTW, I have to admit that I didn't really think Boston, Lincs. was the
Boston refered too. It was the way that the original note refered to
'Boston', as though there was only one, since I live near the other I just
couldn't resist... :-)
