I don't want to belabor this point, and say the following with all due respect, but I would think that as a moderator you would not be so quick to come across as pedantic and condescending. (You mean, place names in America with "New" in them are... named for some OTHER place? Gawrsh!)
As a half-Brit who has made multiple trips to the UK all my life, I'm aware of the geography. I was merely remarking what I thought the *writers of the show* might have used as their inspiration rather than an article of clothing basically unknown in the States. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise, but I don't need a map or someone informing me of what is a fairly obvious (the cows are named for their place of origin?!) but moot point.
