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 often have to go to both Upton Snodsbury and Wyre Piddle.

Oh dear. Shoot up hill. Named for lurking highwaymen and now returning to type.

I drive up Titsey Hill. There's Jackass Lane in Oxted.

I live very close to suit up hill ha ha Ha. Are used to joke about it when I first went there. I had no idea that was why it was named. Shoot up hill. SHOOT. I’m sorry using dictation.

There's a Lumpy Lane very near my home.......and years ago an archeologist friend told me that Swan Lane in Winchester was named Shit Lane in medieval times.

Live near Jerusalem

I always used to smile when I drove past Inner Ting Tong and Outer Ting Tong in Devon (nr Budleigh Salterton).

OH's uncle lives in Bonkle, just along the road from Bogside, a couple of miles from Motherwell.

I lived in Twatt for a while 😂

Also spent a few years in a place called Sleepy Valley which I thought was kind of cute 😁

I've an Ex that lived on Slag Lane

Oh I’m also close to Jerusalem, sometimes drive past New York as well.

And I sometimes drive down High Hoe road and always hum the Snow White song when my sat nav tells me to turn onto it.

Someone's already beat me to to but came on to say a mate's mum plays for the Ugley Women's Darts Team.
Now I live not far from Shitterton, which is Dorset, not Devon. Dorset has some cracking names too.

PaulHollywood there is indeed a Twatt on both Shetland and Orjney.

DH has a family member who lives near a Pratts bottom!
And we visited rye once and found a 'dumb woman's lane!

Used to live in the NE, not too far from Long Benton and Wide Open, which are only four miles apart.

Now live in the SW, not too far away from Beer, Sexey etc. There are some weird and wonderful names down here. The pronunciation of Hatch Beauchamp was one we had to have explained to us. But then again, Ulgham and Cambois in the NE were always pronounced incorrectly by 'incomers' until they were explained to them.

Ah, pronunciation ....

Lympne is a cracker

Not in the UK, but my parents in law live in the States. There's a Park near them called Gobblers Knob. It's famous for its weather-predicting groundhog which in turn spawned the film Groundhog Day.

Aw c'mon
gotta love Sandy Balls at Godshill in the New Forest
and I'm not even on their marketing team

O thank you ta1k. Is that the definitive native speak?

littlemiss'Is the Slip End you live close by to near Luton/Hitchin?

@longway
Yarp - I know parish councillors from round there

Not the town name, but I used to live in an area called California. I used to be embarrassed to say so, when other kids asked ‘what part of X do you live in’ incase they thought I was confused or lying.

We're not too far from Pratts Bottom and Badgers Mount.

There's an old, tiny railway bridge in Castleford, w' Yorks that goes by the name of 'Tittle Cock' bridge. When the council renovated it, they tried to make out it had been named wrongly oh yeah? and it was actually called the 'Tickle Cott' bridge.

Liar, liar, pants on fire springs to mind, and it's still affectionately known by it's former name.
