**Touring the Tons**

(With apologies to DMC® — I originally posted this in the *wrong* Dull Men’s Club. 😅)

There are a lot of place names ending in **“ton”** around my local area in the Cotswolds, UK.

The suffix **“ton” or “tone”** comes from the Anglo-Saxon **“tun”**, meaning “farmstead,” so my village of **Woolstone** would originally have meant something like **Wool’s Farm**.

Naturally, being both dull and geeky, I made a map.

Using data from the wonderfully named **Ordnance Survey**, I found more than **6,500 “Tons” across Great Britain**. 🗺️

At first, I thought the almost complete absence of Tons in Wales was a mistake, but a local historian explained that it likely reflects the limited Anglo-Saxon settlement there, apart from some later incursions along parts of the south coast.

There are also some other surprisingly sparse areas, particularly around London, and I’m hoping the DMC hive mind can shed some light on why.

Being a keen cyclist, I then started visiting some of these Tons. 🚴‍♂️

A friend named the hobby **“Tonning”** — which also fits nicely with recent posts about turning nouns into verbs.

We then created the collaborative **“Tons Game”**, encouraging members of our cycling club to visit as many Tons as possible over the summer.

This was clearly too dull even for the other **400+ members** of our club, because we appear to be the only two people actually playing. 😏

So far, we’ve visited **over 400 Tons**, including achieving the legendary **“Ton of Tons”** — more than 100 Tons in a single ride.

For non-UK readers, “a ton” is also British slang for one hundred, which makes this achievement significantly more satisfying than it probably should be.

The second map shows our progress so far and also highlights just how many Tons there are in our local area.

**EDIT:** I added a photo in the comments showing today’s gas prices in my Northern California neighborhood since a lot of you were asking if that’s where I live. ⛽️

Now for my question:

Why do we still add **9/10 of a cent** to gas prices?

I understand the psychological effect of seeing **$4.99 9/10 instead of $5.00**, but at this point, isn’t it kind of ridiculous?

Back when gas was around **9 cents a gallon**, that fraction of a cent probably made a little more sense.

Now it just feels like we’re lighting up an extra digit on the sign for no real reason. 😂

Surely we’ve reached the point where we can just round it and move on?

Rant over.

No banana 🍌 necessary for this subject.

**18p cheaper. Yes… EIGHTEEN PENCE cheaper than a petrol station just 10 minutes down the road. ⛽️😂**

Not particularly dull to me, although my wife definitely wasn’t as impressed as I was.

Maybe it’s just the Yorkshireman in me. 😅

But seriously, if one petrol station can sell fuel this much cheaper, why can’t the others?

Naturally, I had to ask the attendant how they were managing to keep the price so low.

His answer:

**“We’ve got a direct line from Iran.”**

Fair enough then. 😂

I’ll probably be thinking about this 18p difference for the rest of the day.

Hi DMC,

I only discovered this page a few weeks ago, but I immediately knew I had found my people. I’m pleased to announce that I finally have something sufficiently dull to contribute. 😌

The other day, my wife and I went for a walk to a spot we visit fairly often. It’s a no-through-road down by the water, with several surrounding suburbs visible across the bay.

While looking across at the ferry stop opposite, I had a thought.

That ferry stop is only about **350 metres away as the crow flies**.

However, if I actually wanted to drive there, the quickest route is approximately **8.3 kilometres**. 🚗

So we have:

**As the crow flies:** 350 m
**Quickest drivable route:** 8.3 km
**Difference:** roughly 8 km

Naturally, I’m now curious whether anyone else has examples where two places are incredibly close geographically but ridiculously far apart by road.

There was no banana for scale because it would have been rather difficult to see on the map.

However, the average banana is about **15 cm long**, so I did the necessary calculations. 🍌

**350 m = approximately 2,333 bananas**

**8.3 km = approximately 55,333 bananas**

Therefore, the difference is approximately:

**53,000 bananas.**

This has unfortunately created another question:

When measuring a banana, are we supposed to measure in a straight line between the two tips, or follow the curve?

I fear further research may be required.

I hauled a load of cattle across Oregon to our plant in Nampa, Idaho yesterday — roughly **425 miles** or so. 🚛🐄

A lot of people don’t realize that Oregon isn’t all green forests and rainy scenery.

Only about a quarter of the state is the wet, tree-covered Oregon most people picture. A huge portion of the state is actually **very dry, wide open, and brutally cold in the winter**.

This photo was taken just east of **Baker City, Oregon**.

Banana peel for scale… although technically I ate the banana during my fuel stop before taking the picture. 🍌😂

**Long-time lurker, second-time poster.**

At least twice a year, I make the drive from **Alabama to Wisconsin and back** — Wisconsin is where my husband grew up, and Alabama is where the Army currently requires him to live.

Which means, unfortunately, we have to drive through Chicago.

**0/10. Do not recommend.** 😂

Anyway, I noticed something incredibly important on one of these trips:

The **mile marker signs around Chicago use fractions**.

Everywhere else I’ve bothered to pay attention seems to use decimals.

Photo 1 is from just north of Chicago, I believe, and it uses a fraction.

Photo 2 is from Indiana and uses a decimal.

I didn’t take pictures in Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, or Alabama, but I promise you I was watching, and they all seemed to use decimals too.

Please note that I was **passenger princess** when these photos were taken. 👑🚗

So now I need to know:

Does Chicago simply suffer from a severe case of **decadisophobia**, or are there other places out there using fractions on mile markers too?

Whenever I’m headed to Wichita, I always stop in McPherson.

Partly because the gas is usually ridiculously cheap… possibly the cheapest in the country.

But mostly because I need to confirm one very important thing:

**Is the free air machine still free?** 😂

So far, tradition remains intact.

Cheap gas and free air.

McPherson, please never change. ⛽️🚗💨

One for the UK-based DMC followers.

This morning, I took part in a guided walk from **Waverley Abbey to Moor Park, near Farnham in Surrey**, as part of the **2026 Heritage Open Days**.

Our guide told us that **Moor Park Lane is the only road in England where you are legally required to drive on the right**, because its entrance and exit are located in the centre of a roundabout.

Naturally, this has raised questions.

Can anyone confirm whether that is actually true?

And while we’re at it, is there a proper formal name for the island in the middle of a roundabout?

I feel like “the bit in the middle” is probably not the official terminology. 😂

Sorry, no banana for scale.

I ate it in a banoffee tart. 🍌🥧

As a real estate appraiser, I’ve run into a surprising number of **shuffleboard courts in basements of homes built in the 1950s and 1960s**.

What’s interesting is that I almost never see them in houses built before or after that period.

Considering how many of those basements have been remodeled over the decades, I’m guessing there were probably a lot more of them originally.

Which makes me wonder…

Was **basement shuffleboard actually a big trend** for a while?

I was born in the early ’70s, so it’s not something I really experienced firsthand. My main exposure was hearing people on *The Love Boat* talk about shuffleboard, which made me assume it was mostly a retiree thing. 😂

But clearly, at some point, enough people were putting full shuffleboard courts in their basements that it couldn’t have been that niche.

So for those who remember the ’50s and ’60s:

Was this actually a popular thing with regular families?

Did people really have **shuffleboard parties** in their basements?

Was it considered trendy entertainment at the time?

Please satisfy my dull curiosity.

For the record, this photo is **not** from a house I appraised. We generally respect people’s privacy and don’t post appraisal photos publicly. This image was already publicly available.

I spend far too much time looking at satellite imagery for work.

Every now and then, though, I come across a road interchange that makes me stop and appreciate the engineering for a moment. 😂🛣️

This one may be the nicest I’ve seen in quite a while.

Clean lines, satisfying curves, beautifully organized ramps… just an unusually pleasing bit of infrastructure from above.

I realize most normal people would scroll straight past this.

I did not.

Thought my fellow dull people might appreciate it too. 😌
