Just in case anyone swallowed that trickster @liuzhou's recent post about the UK city of Dungeness, know that Dungeness crabs are only found on the US west coast. You are as unlikely to see them in England as in China:

 

Indeed, but like many places in the USA, it was named after immigrants' home towns and villages as the text quoted says. Dungeness in the UK will be amused to see itself described as a "city". As I said, it's a village, dating back to pre-Roman times (as is Washington). York (the OLD one) is a city.

 

While both England and China have plenty of crabs, indeed they don't have "Dungeness crabs", nor did I ever claim so. Trickster? 

 

I never bought a crab in my life until I moved to London to start university. We just picked them up on our doorstep, as kids. Parts of my family in the UK still do.
