i live near Wide Open

BarbaraofSeville · 19/02/2023 19:56

Wide Open makes me smile every time I drive past the sign on the A1.

RaininSummer · 19/02/2023 20:00

Pennycomequick and little Piddle are two of favourites.

I love threads like this!

Rottenegg in Upper Austria gets a big vote from me!

Also Wigwig, Gobowen, Thrapston and (two Norfolk villages) Great & Little Snoring!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 19/02/2023 20:07

The little village of Gotham (pronounced 'GOAT-um') in Nottinghamshire looks a lot more exciting than it actually is when you see the sign!

My hometown always gets mentioned on these threads or media articles etc.

I’m very happy it hasn’t been mentioned yet!

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

Charcoal production in the Ashdown Forest (grew up near there, many school trips).

DrinkingAllTheGin · 19/02/2023 20:27

West Sussex near me us a village called Cocking. The ING is often blacked out on signs

lightlypoached · 19/02/2023 20:27

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

Idle near Bradford makes me laugh - Idle Working Mens Club

Not forgetting Ugley in Essex, and the Ugley Women's Institute.

I drove through a village called Tiddlywinks once. Also drive through Knockin on the way to Wales and saw the Knockin Shop.

Not far from me: Minge Lane (in-laws used to live there), Wyre Piddle & North Piddle, Bell End, Cockshot Road.
