To ask if anybody lives in one of the UK's oddest place names like beer, nasty, etc.?

[hellokittymania]

I just googled beer and found the beer Church of England primary school. I'm guessing the place is named because of a brewery or something? But why is nasty called nasty? Or do I really want to know? Maybe it's particularly nasty weather?

I don't live in a funny place name but my street is called Cavalier Approach.

There is also the Idle Running Club - I always smile when I see them on their vests.

I'd love to live in Christmas Pie

As a child, I lived round the corner, in Normandy. Very confusing as a teen new to the area trying to explain to new classmates where I lived, when they all asked if I commuted from France.

Hi lockheart. Give my love to cricklewood and kilburn. I had never heard the highwayman thing until a few weeks ago when someone mentioned it on the radio. Cant remember who or what station, annoyingly. I'm going, to abandon the dubious highwaymen then in favour of my earlier belief, it's just a steep hill with an appropriate name. Glad to be corrected, thanks

Sorry if it’s already been mentioned; I don’t live there, but I have visited the village of Muff in Donegal. We just went for the craic (or should I say crack)? Arf arf.

Friendly, near Halifax, has only ever been grim when I have been there. I go there once s year or so for a winter sports event and it’s always rainy or foggy.

There is also a Frirndly Cricket Club, Friendjy Vilage Stores etc

I've posted a letter to Cabbage Tree Lane which was in Fairy Meadow.

@longwayoff I will do! :) I wasn’t suggesting you were wrong by the way, just that I’d not heard the highwayman theory before. I don’t think anyone really knows!

there's a Ballawilleykilley on the Isle of Man.

@prestidigitation - I go to Thongsbridge about once a week. Despite having lived round there for nearly 20 years I am always slightly dissapointed that the road is made of tarmac and not skimpy underwear. Maybe that’s just for the tennis club?

Doesn't Muff have a diving club?

@mavismccruet is that in St Ives?

I grew up near Shoot up Hill, when I was a kid noone thought it was odd at all, it was just the name of the road! It was only a few years ago a colleague thought it was a place where drug dealers went.

There's a road a couple of miles from me in Tottenham called Black Boy Lane, which I think is a strange name.

@BarbaraOfSeville - it would appear it does!

There’s a street - rather than a place - in S. Wales called Salubrious Place.

I live near fry up, and sexhow. Many giggles!

SimonBridges - well done on Happisburgh. Hautbois is pronounced 'Hoo Bish'

We drive through Giggleswick daily. Never fails to make me smile. Mother used to live in Nafferton. Lols
Thanks for a good laugh x

I once emailed Alton Towers about a giant mug my friend had wanted to buy but forgot as we didn’t want to carry it around all day, and it wasn’t available online.

The reply came from the Manager of Cloud Cuckooland.

How’s that for a place to work?

I’m a scant five miles from the village of Nork

There’s a place in Aberdeenshire called Gash 🙈

This has to be one of my favourite topics ever. Will happily spend an hour trawling my dad's maps and atlas to find funny place names. Vividly remember finding out at primary school there was a place in the South West called Brown Willy. Yorkshire is a good one to look for distinctive names. Blubberhouses, anyone?

I live near an area called Pye Wipe. Makes me cringe.

My friend lived on Crotch Crescent.

I also used to live near Horsey Windpump.
