Robbery Bottom (Herts) was a favourite when we were kids. It was near Turpin’s Ride, funnily enough - Dick was evidently busy around there, when the main road was still called the Great North Road.

Slightly off topic, but I once went to a very serious museum where an exhibit had a luggage tag belonging to "Fanny Klinger" - I am totally serious!!!! How was I supposed to keep a straight face????

I'm sorry, but you just need to know how to keep a straight face when met with challenges like that. If you need help to learn how, here's a lesson from a professional.

Dull in Scotland. Twinned with Boring, Oregon and Bland in Australia. 😂

This is absolutely my favourite. The name is ordinary enough (see what I did there) but the fact theythey are twinned with Boring and Bland is absolutely genius.
Love it.
