Great Fryup in Yorkshire always tickles me.
The "Secret Nuclear Bunker" sign is quite entertaining.

I’ve been to both ****ts - there’s ones on Orkney and Shetland

more local to me there was a small holding and derelict tumble down house I fancied as a fixer-upper called ‘Little Black Dykes’. I quite liked the idea of having an address that was like ticking all the boxes on an equal opportunities monitoring form

If we’re doing roads as well, then Letsby Avenue in Sheffield

Bell End.

My mate James used to live there!

I was always strangely amused by Timberhonger Lane which is not far from there also.

I predict that ‘best’ = shit, piss and genitals

*edit (Reads thread)

Gah, I hate being late as much as I hate being that ****ing Nostradamus

Rather simply, I always liked the alliteration of

‘Love Lane’

also

‘The Whimble’ (which does looks just like a tit, for the rest of yeeez )

The Paps Of Anu, too

I going to look it up but i think I remember driving past Fanny Hands Lane somewhere in Lincolnshire years ago.

We have a Sour Milk Hill Lane not fat from us.

I ride through Pity Me quite often and No Place is also a regular haunt. No far from them is a Pea Road, I always stop there for one.

Just driven past Po House, outside Millom, and for the first time in my life I saw the sign was in an undefaced state. Come on teenagers of Millom, pull your fingers out!

‘Love Lane’

Often a coy renaming. See also the previous name of Threadneedle Street

We regularly ride up Cockit Hill Over by llangorse

There is a village stores in the Shropshire village of Knockin which obviously is called "The Knockin Shop"

And I saw this signpost while out near Cardiff Airport, not funny, but it did amuse me for obvious reasons...

When we lived in Rosedale (NYM) there was a Bell End Farm on the opposite side of the valley.

There's Cock Lick End near Gisburn Forest.

Of course if you translate the Gaelic names of lots of Scottish mountains and features then let's just say they are "earthy".
