OK, I'll let you reveal that later, I'm not aware of it.
I learned when I moved there that Toronto (Tkaronto to the indigenous folks of what would become Canada) had the same meaning, so I did some digging on other capitals of former British Empire countries. I know TO is only the capital of Ontario, not Canada, but Ottawa came up as a trading point and Canberra came up with the next hit of "meeting place".
Canadian sense of humour - OTTAWA - Only Town That America Won't Attack.
I know, I know.

Those Welsh Wales are bottle nosed dolphins, or so I was told one day doing something that had sod all to do with Wales at the time and not much to do with dolphins. I think the original conversation was something to do with otters. As in high pressure over the UK in summer always makes it a little 'otter. I've got me coat ....
Which world cup country is home to the tango?
Is that the dance or the can of fizzy orange?
RE: Jj's World Cup Quiz - jjamez - 22-11-2022
i'm after the dance theo, the can of fizzy can stay in the fridge for later. But kudos on getting flipper right.
If you were at school snoots, they would say he tries hard and we'll work on the end result, also sounds like towns mantra.
The location of the dance has been mentioned correctly i believe.
