Hemel Hempstead to be renamed He-Man Hempstead

[Replies From View]

As part of a modernising initiative Hemel Hempstead will be irreparably terminating its historical roots on Monday 26th April 2021, and becoming associated instead with the seminal cartoon muscleman He-Man (who was born in rival neighbouring town Stevenage).

Any objections?  It's a fait accompli anyway but I'd be delighted to learn how aggravated this decision will make you!

I'm quite certain there will be.  The town planners are not imbeciles!

Getting reports that, in retaliation, St. Albans is proposing to rename to Stantz Alban after the popular character from The Real Ghostbusters and the former dentist behind the 1992 smash hit It's My Life.

Due to its historic connections to Thunderan Royalty, Luton will soon be known as Lion-oton.

It's a major international port - how will that boat that got stuck find it if you've renamed it?

but doesn't Hemel Hempstead rely on tourism from the Netherlands on account of it's name being a loose translation of Heavenly Hemp town?

It'll no longer be a concern by Monday.
