[Closed] Silly town names

Yeah, I like all those small weird ones, but Ipswich remains my enduring comedy town.

Wetwang

Blandford Forum

Westward Ho!

Hatfield Peverell

Willey! Though I think its more of a village than a town.

Edit - though if property developers moved in would they present a Willey Enlargement Plan?

Nempnett Thrubwell

No Mans Land, on the road to Looe.

or Plusha on the A30.

****t (orkney) always raised a giggle when we drove past.

Oh, and Indian Queens.

Somafunk - but sadly its miles from my suggestion... Story of my life! 🙂

Land of Nod in East Yorkshire

Lickey End

How about Bell End or Licky End in Worcestershire?

Hmmm, obvious what you two have a preoccupation with...

Idle, there's a working man's club. The title of which proudly emblazened above its door always makes me giggle.

How about adding in a street name here?

There's Hoo, Ware and Wye, but has anyone seen or found a When yet?

Mockbeggar and a Thong near where I come from.

Penistone.

Locals insist on pronouncing it "penny-stun",boring sods.

Dangerous Corner

Ecclefechan

also a place up north called Glaik (one for the weegies amongst us)

I live just down the road from Bedlam.

There's a Village near me who's sign reading CLINT has been amended by the addition of a bit of black marker to the hilarity of erant youths several times over the years.

There's at least 2 Bedlams near me. Quite a common name.

Battledykes (off the A90 somewhere) always raised a laugh for me..

I drove through Morda the other day.

Although it's in Wales I kept thinking of Taggert investigating a morda in Morda

We would always shout "Cheer up John" ,when we drove through

John's Cross on the way to Hastings 😉

Hushi Episcopi.

Used to be a very good restaurant near the Idle Working Mens Club.

Pratts Bottom makes me chuckle

I drove through Morda the other day.

Probably for the best. One does not simply walk into Morda.

Pencilwood

Gotham wasn't what I'd been led to believe it would be...

Tossa always amused me when I was on holiday near Barcelona a couple of years ago.

It's near Thurles.

I've visited an oddly large proportion of ones suggested so far 😳

Jerusalem springs to mind. (Wales?)

Wyre Piddle in Worcestershire.

Knockin on the English/Welsh border which has a village store conveniently called the Knockin Shop.

In a Carry On vein, Upper Chute still makes me giggle.

Cockermouth or Caulkerbush? Decisions, decisions. 😆

Notter Bridge in Cornwall - if it's notter bridge wtf is it?

Halfway - it always seems further than that.

Diggle - rhymes with giggle

Tintwhistle - makes me smile for no real reason

****t... in the Orkney Isles 😀

Childish, I know...

I used to pass by some amusing place names on the way back to the UK from Germany: Titz and Coch near Monchengladbach, ****um near the Dutch/German border and Asse near Brussels.

I've not found any funny place names where i am now, except possibly Bitche just over the border in France

Lower Peover, Cheshire

Another local favourite is Ryme Intrinseca

Just off the x country 25 loop near watlington, oxon

I live close to Penistone as suggested earlier. Theres a small place called Cheesebottom close by. S****horpe if you emphasise certain letters amused us slightly, we always used to mispronounce Cleethorpes to sound like an STD. ie. Cleth rop ees. maybe not so funny now eh.

Loggerhead in Wales.

Currently staying near [i]Coat Pin[/i] in Brittany. Sounds like a particularly lame IRA informant.

Upton Snodsbury in Worcestershire.

Leominster in Herefordshire. Not funny, just scary.

Idle, and it's Working Mens Club

I've been struggling to see this one overnight. Can you explain camo please. No issues, but having lived there all my life the humour in it has passed me by.

Personally my absolute favourite is Fryup in the North Yorkshire moors... the marketing opportunties are endless.

I love the village of Cackle ... always makes us, well... cackle as we drive past. Must be full of witches and broomsticks.
