Places with 'interesting' names.

[lightlypoached]

I've just driven past Nork village 😂

What's your favourite place name ?

Black Boy - in Sussex. Always wondered how it got its name.

You'd probably all like this map

I have it on my office wall and when I'm bored or stressed I look at my map. My boss was once looking at it because she was actually trying to work out how far apart two clients were that she wanted to combine into a trip out to visit them.

She said something ridiculous like 'I can't see Birmingham on this map' and I just giggled and told her to read the place names properly.

Wetwang! 🤣

Ding Dong, Cornwall. You have to say it in Leslie Phillips' voice, by law.

I have that as a Xmas gift. 😁

Gin Gin, in Queensland (Cheers! Cheers!)

Knocking, in Wales I think. And yes, there was a Knocking Shop...

Flesh Hovel Lane near Loughborough always makes me feel a bit ill 🤢

I live near Titsey.

Dildo, in Newfoundland and Labrador.

There are several Slaughters in the Cotswolds, I think a lower, a middle and an upper!

Shellow Bowels is a local favourite

Whimple
Cocklake
Beer

There's a place (probably actually a few) in Wales called Pant. I think they given up cleaning or replacing the sign every time someone changes it to Pants.

We have somewhere called Friendly not so far from here. I've never stopped to see if it is.

This is my specialist subject because despite me being a 40 something highly qualified professional, I'm such a child at heart. I've been to Twatt on a group diving holiday. As well as the diving that we'd travelled a long way to do, the highlight of the trip was going to take photos of us all standing next to the signs to Twatt.

For some reason that reminds me of the place called Intercourse, that they went to during a Top Gear US road trip.

Clamhunger Lane, just outside knutsford.

Anyone on this thread who hasn't got a copy of The Meaning of Liff needs to get one!

It's not rude but Paradise, just outside Stroud always amused me.

Co. Durham has a few - Pity Me and No Place are my favourites

Idle near Bradford makes me laugh - Idle Working Mens Club

Bell End, which is only a few miles from Lickey End

Bottom Club Corner in a village in Yorkshire.

Also Muff Liquor Company

Fingerinhoe in Essex

Not particularly rude but my favourite place name is Nempnett Thrubwell

Bonkle. It's near Bogside, just outside Motherwell.

Today we drove through Tiddleywink.

As well as Land of Nod and Wetwang in East Riding there is also Thwing.
Bedlam in North Yorkshire is also one of my favourites along with Boothby Graffoe and Mavis Enderby in Lincolnshire.
