I've got in the UK a Road, 2 Streets, a Close and a Way. I also have a pub, a school, a small suburb of Bolton, a moor, a fold, half a station and a manor house knocked down in the 1950's that Churchill stayed in

My followers have also named a park in Canada and a hamlet in Australia after me

I've got a major monotheistic religion named after my forename - well maybe I was named after the religion - and my surname is to be found in a South Wales county, seven different US states and a small town in Australia. I'm also apparently a unit of recombinant frequency in genetics but I don't like to talk about my scientific achievements.

A friend sent us a pic of a creek in Australia that's named after me. There's also a river in the USA with my name.

They named the capital of the Isle Of Man after me, as well as several other places around the world. I also have a European department store named after my goodself!!

Oh yes, I am also half of a world famous aircraft manufacturer, but I don't like to brag about that!

Chow Square in Hackney, London E8 is named after my late brother. The Housing Association who developed the estate thought it would be a good tribute to his Charitable work for them.

That's lovely. I guess we all walk down streets everyday that are named after people, without thinking about it, but they are usually dusty dry dignitaries from a bygone age.

I seem to have a couple of hamlets in the arse end of nowhere in the States. The largest is in Nebraska and is aparently unincorporated, but has a post office. Whoopy do.

I'm a small village in East Anglia, which is named after a larger town in France due to migrations following the Norman Conquest.
