Now here is my picture.

The concrete cows in the foreground give it away. Caldecotte Lake, Milton Keynes, the town being named after a famous American economist, and a British one. A rare example of transatlantic cooperation.

Thank you AyG. We lost a lot of farmland due to the building of Milton Keynes. However said land was replaced by buying up other farms and land locally when they became available

I remember Milton Keynes village, Newport Pagnell Woolstone etc and the surrounding areas when they were all open fields and small villages.However one cannot stand in the way of progress.

Your correct, but in your enthusiasim to be a bleeding heart liberal you over looked a few key facts

Slavery was abolished in " South Africa" in 1834, a few years before slavery was abolished in the US in 1865
The Boer republics never prescibed to slavery

Pretoria was estsblished in 1855 as a new city " Pretoria " in a largely unhabited part of the Transvaal and was constructed from virgin bush and was only named " Tswane" once the communist ANC took over post 1994, and there was never a black african dwelling/kraal or agricultural land at this location to support the contention that this area was orginally called Tswane...and it is historical fact that Pretoria as a city was constructed by the Afrikaaners

So back to your lentils hippy...as your premise that Pretoria is a slave name is factually incorrect...we was playing a game of name that city..not getting on a soap box trying to further ones lefty liberal facist agenda
