Best not tell him some of the Gaelic place name translations. He will be dragging that thing up the paps before you know it...

Good to see the Knob in Kings Sutton mentioned, as I grew up in Kings Sutton... Good luck to him

Pratts Bottom... just down the road from here 🙂

I used to live near Tom Tits Bottom and Slutswell, but now I have to make do with Cockhead

Hope he'll be sampling the chippy in Wetwang... I'm considering a ride up there this weekend.

He'll struggle to get that moped up Brown Willy.

Pratt's Bottom is the otherside of the M25 from me..

Seems as good a place as any to post this:

Will his moped fit Upper Thong?

Is he intending to dally in Netherthong?

Be disappointed if he doesn't go down Ladyhole Lane.

This is at the Cock of Arran. 😁

Lickey End & Bell End are well worth a visit.

That was pretty amusing, although my Uncle live in Rampisham and pronounces it just as it is spelled.

I met a man who lives at 69 Crotch Crescent, the finest address in Oxford.

I have this map next to my desk at home https://marvellousmaps.com/stgs-great-british-place-names-map

People on calls ask if it's local authority boundaries as they can see it out of the corner of the webcam 😂
