South-west connections

Bristol has suddenly become a very topical place. It's twinned with Tbilisi in Georgia, in fact it's the 20th anniversary of that alliance this year. Turns out too that Bristol has the dubious distinction of being the first name of Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter. Maybe a British politician should consider bestowing an Alaskan place name on one of their children to return the favour. There are plenty of choice names to choose from: Juneau, Ketchikan, Wasilla, Bethel, Dillingham, or my personal favourite - Barrow.
