Hmmm, that must mean posting here is unproductive.


Is posting here not productive?

Well, posting does produce something. We're not always sure what.

Why is today?

Shorter, wider, and easier than the road I'm on.


What's the difference between a street and a road?

A. In the US the streets tend to run east - west and avenues run north - south, but that does not explain roads. I was led to believe that a road became a street when inside a city/town. For example, the City of London, England, contains no Roads. There are plenty of Streets, Squares and Alleys, but traditionally not a single Road. The City of London is the old city, also known as the Square Mile. The sense of the word ‘road’ was not coined until the late 16th Century, after nearly all the thoroughfares in the ancient City had already been named.

Quote:
The stretch known as Oxford Street is about a mile and a half long, this is one of the London’s oldest thoroughfares, following the line of an ancient Roman road that led to Colchester in the east and Hampshire in the west. Today, it’s also known as the A40. Within London, the A40 begins just north of St Paul’s, runs over Holborn Viaduct and along Holborn and New Oxford Street, along Oxford Street, then north to the Westway, Western Avenue and the M40, and thence on to Wales. Total length: 256 miles.
Q. What is the longest road in the world?

A. Ebenezer Place which is a street in Caithness, Scotland, is named the shortest street in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records. It measures just 6 feet 9 inches, and has only 1 address: a door to No. 1 Bistro, a restaurant in Mackays Hotel. It was built in 1884.

Q. Where is the widest street in the world?

What if you're in hell, and you're mad at someone, where do you tell them to go?
