:roflanim:
I would love to live somewhere with a funny name!

:roflanim:

People tried to be polite by saying, is that pronounced 'Titenhanger'? And we had to say nope, it's Tittenhanger!
Altho they were right really, it's Anglo Saxon meaning 'Tydda's hanging ridge' apparently.....Tydda being a local Saxon bigwig
-
There was a village near where I used to live called Hanging Houghton, my X husband used to say its were all the big nobs hang out!! :innocent:
-

You do! Think about it. Mannan stone - what kind of stone :innocent:
-
The stone always brings a smile to peoples faces and so many people have their photo taken next to it!
-
Not far away from here is Prickwillow, but we live in boring Soham :innocent:
-
On a cleaner note, there is a 'side Street' in Woodside/Burrelton, Perthshire
-
We actually don't live at Dawlish we live in Cockwood, I didn't even add that one to the list, its pronounced cock oood :thumbsup:
Thanks for all the replies
-
There's a Pratt's Bottom in Sussex and Scratchy Bottom is Dorset. ;D
-
Not as rude, but certainly odd, we have villages called Pity Me and Unthank. Who names these places? :D
-
I hardly dare put this one, as it contains a word I never use, but there used to be a 'grope ***t lane', in London somewhere I think. It went a bit upmarket recently and the very proper ladies there got it renamed. Although I hate the word, the street name always makes me laugh as it certainly says it how it is :o
Other than that, I love Wyre Piddle, which sounds like a medical affliction ;D
-
We have friends with the address " Walking Bottom, Peaslake".
( Oh gord, I'll probably get told off for posting something slightly funny now, ) :o
-
There's a hamlet near hear called Lucky Slap

In the first office I ever worked in two teenage boy trainees had to go out to a property in Minge Lane in Upton, they were in stitches for days. Of ccurse back in the 70's girls were far more decorious so non of the female staff understood any connotation and the boys wouldn't let on just sniggered which made all the female staff really cross
Found out many years later that it was named Minge Lane for a reason and it was all written up in a local history of the area - how times change!!!

I think it was the local place to "hook up" with the local "ladies of the night" Surely I don't need to be more explicit than that do I :o
But if it still means nothing then just check out the definition at the online Oxford English Dictionary
-
H ahahah.....that's funny as we got caught out going to a local "dogging" wood, nothing whatsoever to do with dogs may I add...we made a hastily retreat and our oldest dog ran off spooked buy what she had just seen......so want to pull up there with my lights flashing on my Dog Unit Landrover ha ha hahah It would scare the *rap out of any lovers!! :roflanim:
-

A part of a lady's anatomy, pretty similar to the one I quoted :o :roflanim: but a tiny bit nicer.

Ahhh, forgot to add Pratt street here in Soham!

In Biggar we have John Street, which is rather delightfully where the public toilets are.

we use to have s**t brook street in exeter, it was named by the romans, when it was a roman town, and it was actually their sewerage outlet , later to be changed to long brook street ...
i have seen a crapper lane, but can't remember where
-
There's a Bogey Lane in Pontesbury near to me. My son would love to live there, it appeals to his sense of the absurd. And there's a load of Wallops near Chipping Norton.
-
Not sure how it is spelt but there is a village in Essex ( near Newport) that the locals call Ugley. And yes there is The Ugley Womans Institute.

There used to be lots of similarly named streets - but the victorians changed a lot of them. If you know of a local 'love or lovers lane, street etc' thats usually what they changed it to.
-
my local village is called plumbridge, not as good i know, but still kinda odd
-
Lloyd Else my pal lives in " Folkham Hall " the local parish councillors tried to get it banned as registered address for it means exactly how lloyd felt about the parish & town councillors after a major planning battle that cost him a fortune to win .
Not many miles away in Lincolnshire is the village of Folkingham pronounced exactly as Lloyd says it .

lol.......meet 'The Fockers' :roflanim:

Slag Lane, Merseyside, a residential street in Haydock, how appropriate :roflanim:
Now you may not believe me, but I live less than 100yds from slag lane in Haydock and walk my dogs down slag lane every day, it's not residential it's got a farm off it and that's about it
There are no slags on slag lane
There are on the other hand plenty of slags living on station road which is about 200yds away

Near to Fotheringhay on the A605 is a road called " Bullocks road " .. The county & local councils gave up replacing or cleaning the sign of a few extra micro grams of paint or marker pen .
-

On the way home came across a Macdonalds in a random place the entrance to macdonalds was also the entrance to the college of nutrition :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim:

I was brought up in Biggar in Lanarkshire. The Biggar High School, market, butchers, baker, park. Standing joke when I was at school. Also worked for a family called Twatt once who came from Orkney.
