I'm teaching in our Manchester centre this week, and the training rooms all have names. They were named before we moved in, so nobody knows where the names came from, and it's bugging me.

So, puzzle fans, what's the link between Washington, Bay, Brooklyn, Utah and Tyne?

Bridges? There doesn't seem to be a particularly famous Utah bridge but maybe the person who came up with name thought there was.

Bridges was my first idea as well... perhaps it's a catastrophic misremembering of the D-Day beaches?

By the way, can anyone confirm or deny the rumour that the UK beaches (Gold, Sword, Juno) were originally all going to be types of fish, and that Juno was a last-minute name change because the top brass couldn't face the idea of thousands of troops dying on Jelly Beach?

There is a famous natural bridge in Southern Utah

As I probably said, I went to a meeting in a building in New England where the rooms were named after New England rivers. Therefore there was a 'Moose training room'. I didn't see any moose being trained.

Tunnels?
