Used to live near Penistone - doesn't work as an amusing name once you know how it's pronounced.

PrimulaVeris · 10/04/2008 12:57

I once stayed in a B&B in a place called Ecklefeckin

Though I'm not sure of spelling. It was in Scotland. Couldn't keep a straight face...

There's a place in Yorkshire called Hampole that I always snigger at.

Wetwang, too.

It's the nearly rude ones I like best.

I live near Fulking, but the house nearby rejoicing in the name of "Spunk Barn" makes me smile every time I go past...[juvenile]

PrimulaVeris · 10/04/2008 13:33

Oh, Germany!!!

I still snigger at Einfarht & Ausfarht - so even a motorway journey is a laugh ..

At school we used to have chairs in the hall that had been donated by e-members of staff and old girls - There was on chair donated by Mrs. Balls which always used to amuse my 14 year old self

UnquietDad · 10/04/2008 13:45

I bet the tabloids are looking forward to Ed Balls becoming Chancellor so that they can do the obvious headlines. Or would they be too obvious by now?

Cathpot

first name Manfred, nasty mustard-coloured trousers, refused to teach anyone he didn't think was going to get an A?

Cathpot · 10/04/2008 21:20

Greensleeves, yes first name Manfred, yes mustard trousers, also possibly 2 blond whizzy children, weekly vocab tests, lots of der des dem den or some such, I escaped by 4th year. I have no emoticon availbale for the creeping feeling of ohmygod who are we both in RL and do we know each other. Of course I should already know who I am in real life, but currently thats not a given. I digress. Soooo, was your Manfred somewhere in the midlands? Afraid to check this again now in case manfred himself pops up and I am clearly having some sort of episode.
