Bawdrip in Somerset, driving down to Glastonbury from Scotland for the festival we used to pass a sign to the place, always raised a laugh.
A must-know for any from the South West, can't believe this hasn't been mentioned!

Incidentally, doing that that job we once visted a Mr Gardener that lived in Uphill; well, it amused us then...
I remember passing this school in Wedmore, Somerset
Think you'll find our very own Chipps was a Sexey's scholar (in Bruton, though, not Wedmore).
Just up the road from me there is a 'fanny burn'.
I live in Crapstone.
The next village along is Leg O' Mutton.
Well if we are going to allow cheating

Does that pub serve Cider?
A must-know for any from the South West, can't believe this hasn't been mentioned!

I can't help grinning after every stop on the east bound Piccadilly Line when tanoy announces that "this train is for Cockfosters". Silly I know, but gets me every time!
Just south of Fraserburgh on the A90 there is sign pointing to 'Gash'....
Not too far from me in Cheshire are the Pee-overs, (spelled Peover). Upper, lower, over and Pee-over Superior. The locals call them 'Peever' but that's just an affectation.
