Yesterday in the barber's shop, while I was waiting, my father was getting his hair cut and chatting with the barber.
"My youngest has gone on holiday." he said.
"Where to?" asked the barber.
"Bosnia." said my father.
The puzzled barber looked at me.
"Borneo." I explained.
I suppose it's an easy mistake to make. Even if, only one minute before sitting in the chair, my father had asked me,
"Where's Ray gone again? Is it Bognor?"

I'm geographically challenged, too, so I have some sympathy for your father's confusion.
Isn't the full name Bognor Herzogovina?

Quite probably. I can't wait for them to enter the Eurovision Song Contest.
I think Mr Dadov was getting confused with Bosnia Regis.
