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?

I see Penistone was mentioned back at the start of the thread, but the funniest thing is it's just down the road from Wombwell...

Crotch Crescent in Oxford always made me smile when I drove past.

How about the address of Shelterbox in Helston in Cornwall? 1, Water-ma-Trout. What's that about?

oldsilver- is Squeeze Belly Lane really narrower than Parliament Street in Exeter?

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Sheperds Bush. It isn't particularly rude but it still cracks me up every time I'm on the tube childish

Blimey, I used to live in Shepherd's Bush, never occurred to me it was Viz-tastic.

(I have it on good authority there used to be a road in the City called Gropecunt Lane, btw. Presumably medieval gentlemen visitors to London liked to know exactly where they could find some ladies of negotiable virtue...)

Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate always makes me feel sorry for Ma (self-pity)

I like The Shambles though.

All the best ones are in Yorkshire.

I like Tourettes, a village in France.

Went for a dirty weekend in Spain to Peniscola wondered if it came mixed with cum rum.

Unfortunately pronounced pen- yiss- co-la, much less fun!

I'm a big fan of Westward, Ho! In Devon. Only town name with a exclamation mark in it

Apparently there's a town in Quebec with two exclamation marks, though: Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!

I live near Farleigh Wallop which gets a mention in Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island. I rather like it - it sounds like something from a Two Ronnies sketch.

Wigwig in Shropshire. Pant in Wales.

Wetwang, Wombwell and Blubberhouses are my holy trinity of hilarious Yorkshire place names. And before anyone shoots me down, I'm from Yorkshire, although from a more boringly-named place.

duchesse I don't know if it is the narrowest - but it is very narrow. Probably doesn't help that there used to be (I don't know if there still is though) a chippie at one end!

I was just told, as a child, it was the narrowest - apologies if it isn't.

Maybe it's because it's a lane rather than a street? Maybe it's local pride? I discovered earlier that there's a narrower street than Parliament street (which to be honest could easily be mistaken for a mere gap between two large buildings ) in Germany.

There's a place in Hertfordshire called Round Bush.

A street called Snatchup Alley, also in south Hertfordshire, makes me snigger when I drive past!

There's a place in Itay called Arsoli.

Friar's Entry in Oxford.
Grope Lane in Shrewsbury (used to be where the brothels were, apparently?)
Lake Titicaca. I know; I should be too mature for that one to make me laugh, but no.
There's actually a place called Vagina in Russia. That's one for a postcard.

We have Bastardstown down the road in County Wexford, Ireland

perfectstorm you beat me to Friars Entry in Oxford.

I have also had the good fortune of living close to Pratts Bottom and Badgers Mount in Kent.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Fanjeaux, I the Aude region of France. It should be twinned with Mumsnet.

There's a skiing village here in New Zealand called Whakapapa. It's pronounced fucker-papa.
