I can see a future for a fast food product called a Pressburger.

Hard Luck ! Bratislava, was called Pozsony in Hungarian, Presbourg
in French
(see list of streets in Paris) and was for three centuries the seat of
the Hungarian
parliament and the place where coronations took place .
Pull another one.

Maybe Kosice, which generaly appears in history under its German or
Hungarian
names. The same applies to many cities in Roumania and Hungary indeed.

Where, for example is Albe Royale ? or Grand Vardin ?

What, no comments about hiking boots or overheated cupboards?
Is Martin ill?
