The sign on the M6 up near Lancaster somewhere for

Garstang

Always makes me think that should have been a character in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Okay, some non-rude ones.

Not far from me is [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Brewed ]a little village called "Once Brewed"[/url], 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:

Saying it fast, my girlfriend used to smile over 'Isle of Ewe'. Then I'd s**** over 'Isle of Ulva'.
