When we lived in the Outer Hebrides our dc thought the Butt of Lewis was very funny.

@imamearcat and @Unescorted - Penistone is my nearest town. We went to see a comedian a few years ago who did a long section about “Penis Town”. Went down like a lead balloon, because you know, we’d heard it all before.So he moved on the “that big erection on the hill” (Emley Mast) - still no joy. Nothing. We’re hard on southern stand ups, us Pennine folks.

In Dorset there's a village with a Butt Lane and the little village at the end of the road is called Shitterton.

@WarmSausageTea

I don’t know if you’ve been but the name Ecclefechan is the only nice part of it. It’s basically a sink estate next to a cement works surrounded by the least uninteresting countryside I’ve ever seen. It seems to be a dumping ground for bad social housing tenants from all over Dumfriesshire, which is awash with skag by the way.

WarmSausageTea · 12/01/2020 14:36

@stouffer

I’ve never been; we’ve always passed the junction at the start or end of a long drive and have never ventured in. Sounds like a good thing, under the circumstances.

OneFootintheRave · 12/01/2020 14:40

GrinGrinat Shitterton!

There is a Crackpots in the north of England and a Grope Cunte (sp) St. In York.

OneFoot think your gazetteer is out of date! Gropecunt Lane was renamed Grape Lane about 200 years ago Grin
