WHITCHURCH, BETTIA
After months of disquiet, the city council of Whitchurch has decided to change the town's name. Speaking exclusively to the BBC (the Bettian Broadcasting Corporation - what other 'BBC' is there?), the city's mayor Bob Jackson said "What's the point of naming this city after a church when there haven't been any churches here for almost 100 years. It's time to stop reminiscing about the past and look to the future - that's why we've decided to change our name."
"Quite what that name is, we haven't been able to decide. We want something to reflect our city's role as the centre of Bettia's IT industry, which as we all know is the only industry in Bettia which isn't crap."
"We want something forward looking, futuristic, but not too tacky. For instance, one of our councillours suggested 'Techno City', but we rejected that because it would make our fair city sound like a giant nightclub."
"If any folks out there could think of a suitable name, that'd be great."
