Her town is relatively small but her county has almost a million people in it.
Real life, not Queen Vic:
Close. I live in a suburb of a city of about 500,000 - 600,000 people. There are about that many in the suburb. My voting precinct has 1,200 registered voters in it. I'm a poll commissioner who helps run the voting.
There's a sign on a neighborhood street that says "Autistic Person." Met the mother of the autistic son in the neighborhood. Been wondering who it was for a while.
Met the daughter-in-law of one of the TV weathermen.
Met the daughter-in-law of Paul Brinegar (Wishbone on the old TV Series Rawhide)
Met someone who taught a woman who has the unusual first name of Shithead, pronounced Shuh-theed. People don't believe me when I say that someone's first name is spelled that way and pronounced the other way.
