[Closed] Place names that make you chuckle

I was looking at a map the other day and found a place called Fingringhoe, just outside Colchester. I chuckled heartily.

A regular feature of the Monday Night Pub Rides

Booze up in the Yorkshire Dales is a good one.
Also the whole Thong thing that's going on in the Holmthirth/Marsden area. Upper Thong, Nether Thong.
But the best one has to be a place down south called...........Bell End.

On a similar theme, the genius white lining team (or perhaps the council road planners) have abbreviate the lane markings for Wannock, to W'NK.

I drive through Bell End on my way to work every day. Still raises a smile...

I used to live on this street

There are a couple of places in Austria that would bring the ban hammer into play, plus a ****dorf in Switzerland...

Not rude, but I do like Ding Dong (has to be said in a Terry Thomas way) and Grumbla, both round here. And Tonkin Down sounds distinctly meteorological...

ETA Oh and there's a Virgin Terrace and a Salubrious Terrace in St Ives. Both misleadingly named...

My friend who lived in woolomooloo couldn't believe there was a place called Leatherhead.

I passed through a street called Colon when in Cuba this year.

ETA Oh and there's a Virgin Terrace and a Salubrious Terrace in St Ives. Both misleadingly named...

I'm sure there is a house called Pokey hole on virgin Street in St Ives...

If you ever find yourself between Dewsbury and Wakefield you'll be able to visit Chickenly, Osset and Flushdyke

Mt W4nk near Garmisch has the wonderful ****bahn lift but if you go over to Austria there is a nice via ferrata up ****spitze

When visiting the Isle of Skye, I always drive thru Luib

Slack Top, and of cause, Slack Bottom...

Lickey End always makes I laugh.

Prospect , on the a596 .

"Nee Prospect, bugger all hope" is what my grandad said ,most times he drove past.

worked at a place where one of the customer records was marked up:

"Never abbreviate Clitheroe"

apparently the despatch people used to write it v. large on the consignments and the customer was a tad sensitive (ooh err)

We've got a Fannys Lane, but I prefer Scratchface Lane - I guess it used to be narrow and brambley.

My mate used to live in Bell End

Tvv@t, a village up in Orkney is particularly good, rumour has it they stopped replacing signs to the village as people kept stealing them

(Creative typing to avoid swear filter but you get the idea, apology mods, but it is a real place!)

Upper Ramsbottom

Which may not be real

I've been to Dildo Arm and I have photos to prove it.

Riding around the south Lakes this summer - Stank and Old Breasty Haw.

And Playa de Poo in Asturias.

Titty Hill isn't that far from Cocking...

Wetwang always makes me smile.

I hail from Cockermouth.

When visiting family recently, my 5 year old excitedly and innocently told people "Cockermouth is a funny name, it's like when you've got a cock in your mouth". There was a very awkward silence at the dinner table along with a few nervous laughs..

I'm seeing some twinning opportunities here...

@ 😀 Daffy, current Cockermouth dweller here

In cheshire -Lowerpeaover
.
Or my old town in North Wales- Mold! ( and it lived up to that name being rather damp 90% of the year)!!

Edit; grrr

Lickey End is a favourite, but seeing as someone already mentioned it, can I offer

The freeway goes right through Mianus. There's a great little diner on the outskirts of Mianus. I got invited to party in Mianus. etc......

(I have genuinely been there, I know Jackass did it as well)

Work recently decided on a standard naming convention for customers' network devices, including the first five letters of the location.

First customer out of the gate: S****horpe.

Driving down the M74, Ecclefechan always raises a chuckle...

Nob End near Manchester
Jolly's Bottom near Truro

Mianus

Sorry for the tangent, but you've reminded me of a Spanish student I had called Miren Amiano, which translates as They look at my anus.

There's a good view of Three Cocks when you're on the top of Lord Hereford's Knob, in the Black Mountains.
