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?

Fingringhoe gives me the giggles

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.

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

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.

Scratchy Bottom in Dorset.

Stratfield Turgis also amuses me.

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

Anyone fancy a house on Rabies Heath Road

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

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

Classics here! Anyone been to Wank?

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

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?)

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

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

Nempnett Thrubwell.

Cockintake.

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.

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.

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'!

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.

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