I bought a train ticket online from Virgin Trains recently, to get me to St. Neots, nearest station to the site of this conference, where I'm speaking to an association of freelance editors. The follow-up email from Virgin Trains surprised me. The subject line said: "Your St. Neots journey, your way." Your St. Neots journey is a well-formed English noun phrase using the proper name St. Neots as an attributive modifier of the noun journey. Trivial to program: They simply had to take Your _____ journey and substitute into the blank the name of the destination I had picked.
