Talk:Winschoten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

dear sirs: i take exception to the so called nickname for my hometown........(sodom) it is inappropriate, not funny, and wrong.........i hope you will edit it out.......thanx

I am sorry it is so called - I could think of other places that might have been so-called, but it is an historical fact that Winschoten has been called it. As a child I lived in Winschoten with many pious folk and visited church twice every Sunday. So I was very surprised to learn the nickname, but my family confirmed it was so - so I suppose it must stand. Thankfully no one has been turned to a pillar of salt (yet). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winschoter (talk • contribs) 09:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
