@ThePieceHall I came here to say Slack Bottom, Calderdale focused user name too I note! 😂

Yup, not very imaginative; we’d been there that day.

My DS recently walked up Fan Y Big in the Brecons. They also did Pen Y Fan. I suspect it was deliberate.
He also lives round the corner from Fanny St in Cardiff. They were disappointed when they narrowly missed renting a house on Fanny St. I suspect landlords charge a premium, as it’s a popular student address in Cardiff.

The thing is nobody who's in Wales or knows any Welsh thinks it's funny because it only looks a bit rude written down. When you actually say it it isn't "fanny big" it sounds like "van uh big".
You used to be able to get bags which said" I love Fanny Street", the street part was in very small type..

On Bluebell Hill, Nr Maidstone, there is a sign for Hucking. Loved saying it as a child, as did my children decades later.

In Ewell, a Stone's throw from Nork, there is a Mongers Lane.

We stayed in a lovely coastal village in Spain called Poo. Entertained ourselves endlessly with tales of paddling in Poo, dining out in Poo, sleeping in Poo etc

Me too!

Also nearby is village called Nup End which is fine until local kids deface the village sign.

I’m convinced that Sting was drawn to buy his country mansion near Salisbury, in the parish of Wilsford-cum-Lake, partly because of the place name!

Wetwang

I grew up living not far from wetwang and was always surprised hearing it on rude name lists as I’d never given it any thought. My first ever boyfriend also lived in wetwang 😅

I lived in Pennsylvania for a while - apart from Intercourse, which has already been mentioned, we went skiiing a couple of times at a resort called Blue Knob. Well, obviously it was quite chilly…
