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 grew up near a small village called Dull. It is now twinned with a town in the US called Boring!

My nan used to live near Six Mile Bottom.

We now live near Waterley Bottom and Cockerdilly.

Dh drinks Butcombe (pronounced But Cum) beer and I struggle to get the round in without sniggering!!

I used to live in Pity Me! I was applying for PhD positions at the time; I used to imagine my address looked like a cry for help to my potential supervisors

I lived in Pity Me for a while. Also No Place. Always felt odd telling anyone my address!

There's no firm theory why Pity Me has its name. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pity_Me

We did look at a house there, last year, but agree with the above comment about it being a bit grey. Handy for the shops, as there's a big retail park, there, but there is no real village centre.

Forgot to mention No Place, which isn't far away.

Lustleigh in Devon, Tincleton in Dorset and in Bournemouth they've got the Lower Pleasure Garden and the Upper Pleasure Garden!

I have lived in Hope.

There's a street in Hull called land of green ginger, I always loved that.

I live in Penistone it's pronounced pen-is-town.

Ironically, Slash Lane is one of the most flood-prone streets in the whole of Leicestershire...

I know someone who lives on Minge Lane!

There's a village in Essex called Ugley.

My sister used to live near Clitheroe which her and her husband would pronounce Clit-Hero.

There's a street in St Ives in Cornwall called Court Cocking. I think it sounds like a place where gay men go cottaging.

There's a village in Essex called Ugley.

Barry Took used to have a running joke about the Ugley Women's Institute.

I want to move to Upton-On-Severn, specifically to the street called Minge Lane.

And Lickfold in West Sussex makes me snigger.

We live not too far from Licky End

I remeber going to visit my nan who lived near Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter

Rock ~ Splatt ~ Pityme
strangely all the rental houses say they are in Rock even though most of them are too far inland

Many of the towns along the river Piddle have good names
and there are multiple Pratt Bottoms around the country

BikeRunSki is that Hope Cove.. that rather lovely village one approaches via the Hope Bypass?

There's a Pratt's bottom

My kids loved it when we went to Minion ..... there were lots of stickers on the road signs

Oh my God, I'm laughing now at the ugly women's Institute. Poor of them! And thank you for giving me the pronunciation for penis stone. I will try and remember that since I have the wrong pronunciation in my head now.

@fresh I saw a Catbrain near the trampoline park in Bristol, my kids were enchanted!

My grandparents lived in Pratt’s Bottom. We thought it so funny when children.

When we drive to Cornwall we pass signs for the village of Broadwoodwidger. I HAVE to shout BROADWOODWIDGER several times. It amuses me.

Can't believe Cockermouth in Cumbria didn't make it

Are you local @foxycleopauper ? Just wondering if you know it's "affectionate" name

My two favourites are Giggleswick and Wigglesworth - they're next to each other and I love driving past the sign, always makes me smile

I used to live near Lucky Slap and my puppy came from Ae (saw it on OPs map!)

There is a town called Muff just over the border in CoDonegal
