Funny (or unfortunate) place names in the UK

[xsquared]

Just for the fun of it.

I live near a place called Pity Me.
I've visited Twatt in Orkney.
Some people from our running club took part in a recent race near Shittlehope.

What is the funniest place name you have come across?

There's a place in Plymouth called the hoe. There's an area in the city called Hooe.

Really? Have you ever met children?

Barf hill

Somewhere in Yorkshire

We were all car sick at the time

There's also a "Carsick Hill" in Yorkshire, in Sheffield.

I went past Hardslacks this weekend. Found that rather amusing.

Near Exmouth in Devon there’s a pair of roads called Inner Ting Tong and Outer Ting Tong.

Some other village names in the South West that I love:
Nempnett Thrubwell
Ryme Intrinseca
Huish Episcopi
Queen Camel
Curry Rivel
Newton Poppleford

Just saw a place called Ugley in the news. In Essex

Dundee...😂coyr.

Dirt Pot near Allendale in Northumberland

Quaking Houses in Country Durham

I live near tokers Green just back from visiting family in Pishil

And of course the local WI is called the Women's Institute of Ugley.....
not the other way around

There's a Knob Hill near me.

Bell End in Stourbridge

Charlton cum Hardy aways made me giggle when I was younger.

A friend of mine lives at Slip End. The local pub is called the Frog and Rhubarb.

Love the Lynsore Bottom sign, that is local to me. It’s the Please Slow Down that makes you snigger. Poor Lyn.
I used to live near Cold Christmas in Hertfordshire.
PP mentioned Fanny Street Cardiff. DD lives near there and it’s perpendicular to Minny Street, which is funny because when she was little Minny is what she called her, well you get the picture….
Squeeze Gut must a popular name for a very narrow alley, there’s a few been mentioned and there’s one in Whitstable too. Lots of weird ones in this part of Kent: a Slutshole near Faversham. A Cockle Swamp Alley in Deal. Dead Cat Alley in Maidstone. And Smarden has a Lewd Lane and a Love Lane!

The street sign for 'Butts Wynd' in St Andrews always makes me giggle.

We go there a lot and the jokes never get old, like a pair of teenagers 🙄🤣

Has anyone mentioned Fingringhoe in Essex? I had a collleage who lived there. He moved to Canada eventually 😀.

There is a place near where a I grew up in Scotland called Skinflats. It makes me think of Silence of the Lambs and the kidnapper who made the hostage “rub lotion on its skin”

Bad Bargain Lane in York,

Fingringhoe, Essex

There’s an entire Bellenden road in Peckham

Scratchy bottom in the New forest, but that’s been mentioned on page 4 already

Brown Willy on Bodmin moor

Pennycomequick in Plymouth

There's also Brynbugga, near Chepstow. I have a puerile chuckle when I drive past the sign.
