I am just wondering while I was in a car I saw a gas station and it said Exxon on it. I am just wondering did you get your name from there?

Nah, seriously, the name Exxon was actually my own invention. But with my bad luck, it turned out it was also a gas station in the US. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ah well, noone can be perfect. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

My previous post was a bit off-topic. I think I'll head over the War Forum now. [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

I have lived here in this country for four years saw the same gas station almost everyday and yet I just realised it has the same name as you. I can't believe I didn't post this sooner.

In Norway the company is still known as ESSO. Exxon is the parent company.

Arundel Castle is actually is/was actually the seat of the duke of Norfolk, a county in Maryland USA, etc, in other words a common English name.
