There are probably colours and names that relate to local environments that people far away have no chance of associating.

For instance, we have a new pictorial that has ladybugs on it which was named Bug Tussle. All of the fabrics (or at least 98%) are named after cities or countries. Some of the funniest are the fabrics which are neat repeats - patterns that repeat themselves. They've been named Tuki Tuki, Walla Walla, well you get the picture!Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161766641750533480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-2474338616496264702008-04-24T19:18:00.000-05:002008-04-24T19:18:00.000-05:00Wow this is hard but you are right it would be a f...Wow this is hard but you are right it would be a fun job.
