[sw-l] Building Dictionaries

[Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa]

Trevor,

People usually sign THAMES as LONDON BIG-RIVER :D

People refer to HUDSON as NEW-YORK RIVER or MANHATTEN RIVER

In Belfast, the LAGAN is referred as AROUND-THE-BEND-OF-RIVER (if outside
Belfast, we'll add IN BELFAST)

The sign for EASTENDERS is because of their tendency to show the aerial
(sp?) map of London itself on the introduction. The same thing applies for
SEE HEAR!
