Can I come in with an offering of Wetwang?

I often drive through it. It seems to have its own little microclimate.

The OP has privacy concerns, and so we've agreed to take this down now.

WhoFramedRoger · 10/01/2020 17:11

@Zaphodsotherhead is it always wet? 😂

Anyway, my favourite places are Knob End and Twat

maslinpan · 10/01/2020 17:11

Husbands Bosworth makes me smile. As does Chipshop, in Devon.

BlueJava · 10/01/2020 17:12

I used to live near Canterbury and sometimes drove by Lynsore Bottom Farm. Always made me smile.

Blacksackunderthetreesfreeze · 10/01/2020 17:13

Popocatépetl - there’s a song about this! “Popocatépetl is a big volcano, far away in mexico”

I was quietly amused by ”Updown Hill” recently, which is somewhere in the south of England

MyOwnSummer · 10/01/2020 17:13

Six Mile Bottom in east anglia
Clowne in the Midlands
I think there might be a Shit somewhere in the Shetland Isles?

Obviously Fucking in Austria is the winner!

WarmSausageTea · 10/01/2020 17:15

I’ve travelled past Fanny Hands Lane many times. I assumed it was named for a public figure of some sort, so I googled Fanny Hands... not a great idea. Blush

I love the names Ecclefechan and Twatt.

MyOwnSummer · 10/01/2020 17:16

Sorry i was thinking of Twat in Shetland not Shit... thanks @whoframedroger

Whatever you say Jeremy.

silencebeforethebleeps · 10/01/2020 17:18

I like Bwlch.

onalongsabbatical · 10/01/2020 17:18

Velvet Bottom.

MaisyMary77 · 10/01/2020 17:19

Twatt in Orkney. I grew up nearby and used to wonder why relatives who were up for a visit would chuckle.

I now live near Christmas Common. Every Christmas they open a Christmas barn. 😀 love it!

stripeypillowcase · 10/01/2020 17:19

I'm sniggering like an immature schoolchild at these.

still like Popocatépetl
