There's a place not a million miles from me called Cold Christmas, which always makes me smile. Taking a roundabout route there one can pass by Freezy Water, Much Hadham and Little Hadham (actually the same place) and the cheerful Bengeo. A little to the east is Great Snoring and of course Little Snoring.

Just outside Greater London one will find Pratts Bottom, to the west is Wyre Piddle, Cornwall has (among a long list) a Tor named Brown Willy. Further north is the delightfully scatological Shitlington Crag. Yorkshire has a few that come to mind; Bugthorpe, Blubberhouses, Swine and Ugglebarnby. But if you want silly, well that's in Belgium.

The list is quite a long one. There's another thread here about this very phenomenon, started some while ago by my good self as it happens.

There are certain American place names that I find appealing, they're just fun to say, to my English ears they're quaint and unusual, Poughkeepsie, Adirondacks, Spokane, they're just names you wouldn't find in the UK. Do some of the places in the UK sound as funny yet cute to Americans. I can't really see Bognor Regis having the same appeal.

If you liked Pouhkeepsie, you'd absolutely adore Poughquag and of course Peekskill (always seemed like a bad sex word- Peeks- kill). Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania and King of Prussia Pennsylvania not to mention the confusing Indiana Pennsylvania.

There's a book called Rude Britain about the most dirty rude place names in our country. Proper places - not made up names - my favourite are and I kid you not -

Cock Village
Asshouse Lane
Titty Ho
Willy Lane
Balls Cross
Pratts Bottom
Fanny Avenue

Imagine putting some of these on your letters for your home address!!!:biggrin1:

Hellboy, Monster, Savage - dont bother packing your bags for Cock Village - its in the middle of the country, small and theres no cock action there! Its just the name

 

[D_Goldsworthy Fingernuts]

A street by me is called Bell End!
No bs! My mate grew up in a house in (or is it on) Bell End and said he couldn't order a pizza without people cracking up!

...Proper places - not made up names - my favourite are and I kid you not -

Cock Village - ??? There's a village called Three Cocks, Powys. There's also a Cock Alley (village) in Derbyshire.
Pratts Bottom - Also a Scratchy's Bottom in Dorset, though it's only a hill.

There is also a Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania which is about a 5 hour drive from the Atlantic Ocean!

Thank you. I remembered that but didn't want to go hunting for it. (I couldn't remember who started it)
