If the C word is so bad, why is Scunthorpe spelt the way it is?

[paulagil]

I piss myself laughing everytime I see it on the television weather charts.

Ha ha ho ho. Or am I just warped?

[SuddenlySqueamish]

Fingringhoe gives me the giggles

[PsammeadPaintedTheLion]

There is a village on the German/Austrian border which we've been past before called 'Fucking'.

I think it's pretty well known due to its name.

BUT they produce a beer, and rather marvellously, it's a light beer and is therefore called Fucking Hell.

Slack Bottom, Wyre Piddle and Sandy Balls all make me chuckle.

[MrsPnut]

There's a clint lane in a village near me and the parish council spend more time cleaning black marker pen joining the L and I to make U off than almost anything else.

I have always wanted to live in Bedlam in North Yorkshire (there are about 3 houses there).

We're not a million miles from Pity Me. Not rude, but always elicits a smile, even though we do a lot of our shopping there. Coxhoe is nearby, too.

There's a street in the West end of Newcastle called Two Ball Lonnen :o

[ScrambledSmegs]

There's a road off the A1o near Cambridge called Butt Lane. Usually makes me do a dirty snigger, even though I knew it probably refers to a water butt.

Shitterton, on the River Piddle

Also, Blubberhouses.

[TrueBoo]

Scratchy Bottom in Dorset.

Stratfield Turgis also amuses me.

[bushprincess]

Skinners Bottom in Cornwall and Waterly Bottom in Gloucestershire always make me chuckle!!

[doyouwantfrieswiththat]

Anyone fancy a house on Rabies Heath Road

[TristanFarnon]

Battledykes is near us :) We laugh everytime we drive past.

[Thelovecats]

I used to work for 192. I thought someone was taking the mick when they asked for a number in Twatt. I had to ask them to spell it out so I could check what they were saying!
Clitheroe always makes me chuckle when I read it on signposts

[justmuddlingalongsomehow]

Classics here! Anyone been to Wank?

[duchesse]

Medieval Exeter used to have a Shit Brook, and a lane leading to it called Shit Brook Lane. I wonder what happened there...

[BibbleBabbleBobble]

I'm from Scunthorpe. Never even noticed the cunt in it, presumably because it's pronounced nothing like it. We used to call it Scum Thorpe (see what we did there?)

[AnnaKissed]

I live in the Middle East and just round the corner from me is Yanbu Street. Makes me smile every time I see it. Yanbu is a town in Saudi Arabia apparently. A country well known to be full of reasonable people

[AnnaKissed]

Also, not a place, but have you every tried to send an email containing the word weightwatchers? Hidden swear word there too [immature].

[wodalingpengwin]

Nempnett Thrubwell.
Cockintake.

[DoctorTwo]

A tinpot non league football forum I used to lurk on replaced all swears with "badger", so if you typed Scunthorpe it appeared as Sbadgerthorpe, which used to tickle me.

[ManyCircles]

Lickey End.

I don't know whether it's a village, a disease dogs get or a kinky sex thing but it makes me laugh every time.

[LittleBonnie]

Canal Street in the 'gay village' district of Manchester had the first letters of each word crossed out on the sign so it read 'anal treet'!

[Carlat86]

When I went to Edinburgh we went on a bus tour of the city and the guy was saying that the streets are named after what was in them, for example Baker Street because there was a baker and so on. I turned to my boyfriend at the time and said so what about Cockburn street? I don't think he was as amused as me.

[COCKadoodledooo]

Sandy Balls is known as 'Gritty Gonads" in our family..
