The same thing has happened to me.
Sort of upsetting as it indicates that it might happen on an important
or sensitive topic.
I just chalk it up to electronic problems instead of insulting the
innocent "sender."
Funny enough, you may not even get to read this reply as there are too
many groups listed and I must omit some

There is a section of West Birmingham (England) that has a lot of
California names. I remember being surprised to see a sign directing
me to Hollywood.

Not really. It's amazing how many places in the UK are named after
bits of Australia. Lismore, Tralee, Perth, Aberdeen, Liverpool, Launceston,
Croydon, Bexhill, to name but a few. Even bits of Europe like Engadine.

whilst you're joking, you have of course also been to Botany Bay in
Enfield, which is named after the place in convictland.
