There's a place is France called Arse too. And one called Brest.

How about a trip to the village of Six Mile Bottom followed by a meal of toad in the hole and (obviously) spotted dick?

Or, how about a trip to Minge?

I live near Pratts Bottom and Locksbottom which are both in London- always makes me giggle!

UnquietDad · 11/07/2009 14:08

I can't think of anywhere rude-sounding in Sheffield, but there is a Carsick Hill, which always sounds an unpleasant place to drive with small children...

Crotch Crescent - a street in Oxford.

In St Albans recently I saw a Snatch-up Alley (note that the omission of the indefinite article is vital to your understanding of the above).

verygreenlawn · 11/07/2009 17:25

Snatch-up Alley was the result of a local campaign - I think the name was used some years ago but had fallen into disuse.

Always makes me laugh because it runs behind a little pub - one of my neighbours confessed that it was her regular place for a sneaky wee on the way home from the pubs in town.
