    I ride past this place most days out on the brapper on the way to Salisbury plain.

    I keep forgetting to take my swimming trunks.

    Oh you lot with you rude ones, behave.

    always loved this one.

    mind you, imagine if you’d “stayed over” at mr Winton’s and were complimenting him on his brunch offering. 😯

    Okay, some non-rude ones.

    Tak-Ma-Doon Road (nice cycle route too)

    Not far from me is a little village called “Once Brewed”, but if you approach it from a different direction it is signed as “Twice Brewed” 😀

    Another area with lots of good ones. I particularly like Scarrowmanwick and Ironfork Cleugh.

    Most Scottish hills and mountains have Gaelic names, this is about the only one with an English name – the Inaccessible Pinnacle

    We’ve got “Lost” and “Cockbridge” up in this part of the world. Both entertain my small mind.

    “Shilbottle” north of Newcastle on the A1. the first “L” is regularly graffiti crossed to make it a “T”

    there’s a village in the Calder valley called “Slack”, and there’s also a “Catherine Slack” between Halifax & Queensbury. Not far from Dunkirk too:
