cletus Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Where ever you go in the uk/world, there always seems to be a place name that can raise a smile Some are funny some plain daft & some can be rather suggestive Please post your offerings of places you`ve seen.....(& remember, it`s just a bit of fun ) There`s a place in Swaledale we went through called Crackpot. Either it`s full of daft Yorkshiremen or there`s some serious drug abuse going on in the dales. I`ve also seen a village in the Severn Valley caled Hampton Loade....sounds like a 70s American pornstar to me. ....can you do better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I lived near a place called Titley, which used toraise a smile to some. Also a village I sometimes drive through has a road called 'Lady Gardens' which makes me chuckle sometimes. Still think this is one of the best though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b12_simon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 There's a Bell End in Rowley Regis, not so far from where I'm sat right now. Tw@tt's also a surname. Place I worked at in the mid-90s had the BT phone disk (the one used by directory enquiries) and of course we'd look up these things. There were 28 Tw@tts in there, including Alan Tw@tt Potatoes of Banff, Aberdeenshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverine Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 The actual translation for Todmorden is Death Murder Village. Nice. Being a traditionalist, I think Ramsbottom is suffuciently funny. I also like Petersfinger near Soton. Only because my dad has a missing finger and is called peter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Before the name sign was amended to read Turn Village, the farmer's yard next to it was always receiving unintending visitors driving from Rochdale to Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim mk2 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 My parents live in Turton Bottoms Wolverine, I agree about Ramsbottom especially if you think about the higher end of the place Upper Ramsbottom! Nowt wrong with Rammy. Become a very desirable place to live in past 10 - 15 years. Pleasant village nearby called Summerseat. Must be something about derrieres in those parts. Former relations lived in a road called Titty Ho in town in East Midlands. Much mirth. Town by name of Iron Knob in Australia. Passes for culture down under.
