Laurence Brown is a British man writing his way through the truly bizarre world of America - a place he sometimes accidentally calls home and a place he still hasn't quite figured out after seven years.

I'm not sure it qualifies as outgrowing their counterparts, but the area of the Philadelphia suburbs I live in was certainly not very original with their names. I live in Warwick which is next to Warrington, Warminster, Buckingham, Southampton, and Northampton amongst others. Imagine my confusion when I visited the UK and found these towns/areas were nowhere near each other. Love your videos!
