Imagine living in Penistone

x post BigCow !!! I wonder if it is the same person ? Does his first name begins with D?

We love Jollytots Glen but I have never had that cake.

Artex - there's not a word of truth in the story. It is actually named after the penny rent it was listed for in the Domesday book.

Barnsley is a much newer town, and wasn't listed in the Domesday book at all.

Staying close to Penistone, Middlestown (near Wakefield, where the Mining Museum is) was originally called Shitterton too, but changed it's name. It chose Middlestown because it is between Netherton (Far Town) and Overton (High Town). Or something like that anyway.

I like Great Fryup in N Yorks.

Not a million miles away ivor a true Yorkshire Pudding [winl]

There's a Muff near Derry. And apparently yes, they do have a divers' club.

You may not believe this, but an ex of mine moved from Clitheroe (clit-hero) to Penistone due to job change! He looked at several houses but decided on Penistone cos he just couldn't resist the name! (We are both Scottish btw so didn't know the local pronunciations sorry).

Ha ha genital city as a friend of mine calls it

Used to drive through a town called Wankum in Germany on the way to the airport. Still makes me giggle

I have a place called Slack Bottom not far away

My Mum never, ever swore. One day (when she was 70) we drove through Funtington in Sussex. She very casually said to me "It's such an unsatisfactory name , darling, neither one thing nor the other". I nearly choked.

My friend's surname is Penistone. You know how driving licences use the first 5 letters of your surname as a sort of code? Yeah, his driving licence says PENIS on it. He uses it as an icebreaker when chatting people up

Since that's about 5 of us who have posted about Penistones and their driving licences I reckon they all must use it as an ice-breaker

Isn't Upperthong around those parts - that always used to make me smile.

And for some reason I keep having a fit of the giggles about Funbag Drive

Ooops, I thought I had refreshed when I posted mine

I live near Penistone.

Our local is called The Old Cock and is on Gay Lane

You could go and sit on Brown Willy:

I live near a Penistone Avenue and have never heard anyone make a joke about it.

I've also passed Fanny Hand's Lane and know of a Slutwell lane too.

I used to work at the local post office, the customer who used to comein and collect parcels who lived at clitsome view was Mr G.O.Stickly.....

Grovel that's brilliant

Langen, we love going past the the turn-off to Wankum too! Was once in a traffic jam just north of Titz.

BikeRunSki Was there a heckler in the audience? He was so funny - I couldn't decide whether he was genuine or a plant.

Off to Penistone market today

Blimey! Didn't realise there were so many Mn'ers close to me! I live near Penistone as well!
