It sounds to me as if you're in Richmond. It was originally called Shene, but when the house burned down in 1497, Henry VII had it rebuilt and named it after Richmond in Yorkshire, the 'Manoyr of Richemount'. The name 'Shene' is now only remembered in North and East Sheen, and Sheen Common. http://www.thames-search.com/richmond.html Feb 27 05, 9:06 AM

I am a fisherman. The sea where I trawl is running out of fish because too many fish are being caught. The fishing association has ruled that smaller nets with larger holes will be introduced immediately. Being selfish, and not trusting the other 1000 fishermen to change their nets, I do not change my net. This is on the premise that if I am the only one who does not change to the less efficient net, it will not significantly affect the overall outcome if I catch just a few fish more, and, if I am the only one who does change to the less efficient net, it will not significantly affect the overall outcome if I catch just a few fish less. What "concept" am I describing? 'Hey Gnomon, I must admit that I was not serious when I was telling you that I was kidding about rethinking my decision of not changing my mind.' So, am I going to change my mind or not? I am James Madison Randolph. Why am I famous? If I am in South Africa and I go 230 km north, where am I?
