Clicky

Bit of a trophy i guess if you fancied one of their road signs. Be interesting telling your mates where you went on holiday i bet. :D

Anyone else got any weird place names they've seen?

    I love that village. There are some pretty ace Village names in England, actually. Made lessons in school with maps fun.

    Wetwang is a rather nice place.

    I like the three villages in Northumberland- Once Brewed, Twice Brewed and Thrice Brewed. And also Wallish Walls in Northumberland. And Kirkcudbright in Galloway, just because the spelling confuses foreigners. Same with Cockermouth *snigger*

    There is a road called Crotch Crescent in Oxford. I got the giggles for ages when I saw that.

    Wetwang is more or less just down the road from me! :D About a 20-25 min drive at the most.
    There's a village around here called Burnt Butts (you go up Burnt Butts Lane to get there), and another called The Land Of Nod. :)

    I find it funny when people ask for directions to 'Looger Burooger', meaning Loughborough.
    Also there is a village called Bishop's Itchington near here, and in East Sussex there are places called 'Upper Dicker' and 'Lower Dicker' which is just too funny when you are 12 and going on holiday with your family. Oh and near Rugby there is a village called 'Willey', and on the way out of Daventy is a village called Nobottle. Hehe.

    Penistone. Not actually funny as its pronounced Peni-stone, but slightly amusing in the same way Scunthorpe is.

    Not just that, but they are saying "please, not so fast".

    Apparently, not only do I live near Shavington Ho, but there's a Puseydale Farm near by.

    Bottom Flash is only 14 miles away from me, Moonrat. OoooOOOOoooooh.
