Drive Safely
Feeling jaded? Well, you’re in excellent company.
August 9 marks the annual Dull, Boring and Bland day. This auspicious day began in 2012 when the Scottish town of Dull decided to reclaim the negative connotations associated with its morose name and partner with an equally lacklustre location: Boring in Oregon, USA.
Although the two towns were unable to be officially twinned due to having very different population sizes, the partnership was fortified with a large sign welcoming visitors to the town in 2013, and stating its alliance with Boring in Oregon.
Not wanting to be overlooked in the assembly of monotony, Bland in Australia decided to jump on the bummed out bandwagon, becoming the third member in the ‘trinity of tedium’ in 2017.
Spanning three continents, the three unfortunately named communities are now united in monotony.
