Good moaning

Do developers and estate agents think bunging in a bit of foreign when they name their estates of boxes makes them seem sophisticated? Or somehow lifts the slums of tomorrow on to a higher plane of technical excellence? It all seems a bit like Del Boy and his fractured French trying to look a man of the world.

I mention this as I have just travelled up from Cornwall and in Bodmin is a new development of reasonably looking apparments which have ben named Victoria Parc which is enough to confuse postmen and grannies everywhere. Why didn't they go the whole hog and have Vittoria Parc to get some Italian in alongside the French?

Of course I could be doing them a grave disservice. Maybe it is not an attempt to appear cosmopolitan at all and is just an example of the falling standards in education.
