Debate House Prices

    I've thanked your post, for nothing else than using an old fashioned (non politically correct) phrase, gaoler.

    Excellent. I suspect most people are going to read this thread and go, what is a gaol or gaoler.

    Actually when I visited Cork a while back it was still called that :)

    Just to be pedantic, this is a story from California, not Florida.

    “The Golden State” has long been a popular designation for California and was made the official State Nickname in 1968

    [FONT=arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]“Sunshine State” was adopted by Florida as the State Nickname by the 1970 Legislature[/SIZE][/FONT]

    To be pedantic it was simply my description of a sunny state :)
