In before the puns about the place names.

"People always say that the Romans wouldn't have built by a river but our finds have all been by the river."

Am I missing something? Rome is on the Tiber. London on the Thames. Paris on the Seine. It seems to me that the Romans had no special reluctance to build by rivers.

[Ev Reeman]

Undoubtedly many floods and erupting volcanoes which covered many landscapes with lava throughout the many centures have buried treasures in them and as such archaelogical finds in the future may be quite amazing.

It is a shame the Romans are not still around to keep the muslims out of the UK.

Are you saying someone is going to Smear Papcastle?

Everything is “down by the river!”.

Cockermouth and Papcastle ping.

The Roman invention of waterproof concrete helped them rule the world. Bridges, aqueducts, sewers, etc were child’s play for them.

Sadly the English threw away 1000 years of their civilization for Islamification helped by Tony Blair, the Labour Party, BBC, and Rupert Murdoch.

Idiots manipulated by TV like the USA.

I have this weird feeling that there are going to be some, shall we say, off-color comments, along with some double entendres.

[SunkenCiv]

I knew I could count on all of you! Thanks! :’)

The Cockermouth and Papcastle pinglist has been around for years.

It’s very small and not often used.

[Sacajaweau]

Go to an early map of almost any region. The development and roadways were along waterways. Doesn't take a lot of brain power to know why!!

Someone asked me why my grandfather built his house on the top of the hill. It was like....Duh...why do you think....

[MotorCityBuck]

Good observation.
I love history, and I find that the majority of Great Major cities, and towns to be built for the most part in defensible position near Oceans, rivers, and gulfs. Commerce, Communication, and the quick movement or supplies, and troops. At least for the true Empire Builders, Rome had it in spades.
