Mavis Enderby is surely a housekeeper in a Dickens novel, not a small village in Lincolnshire.
The state of Pennsylvania has relocated north of Bath.
Guyzance. Clearly a Cornish village ( not a Northumberland one)
Upperthong near Holmfirth is not a Brazilian coastal resort
Ashby-de-la-Zouch
Garstang
Chester-le-Street and it's neighbour Houghton le Spring
Ps there's a California near me in Scotland. It says it's the sunshine village. Rather ironically
Edit:
The Lomond hills are not next to Loch Lomond or Ben Lomond.
Yeah, but they're next to Loch Leven - and Loch Lomond is drained by the River Leven.
Makes you think...
And Jemimaville should be in Carolina, not on the Black Isle.
I always thought ecclefechan should be in wales
Nah,I always thought that Ecclefechan sounds like it should be further North
😉
Yes after going through Petty France you turn left at Dunkirk along France Lane to my In Law's
Wendens Ambo, should be in South Africa not Essex
The Australians don’t have much imagination when it comes to naming places…
to be fair I suspect those places were named by colonisers.
Baghdad shouldn’t be in Tasmania, neither Zeehan nor Strahan.
Mooloolaba shouldn’t be so close to Mooloolah.
Woking and Wokingham should be on the same train line… well it would have helped my mate that got the wrong train.
And the Town of 1770 should be in the 18th century.
As for D’Aguilar that shouldn’t be in country where nobody knows how to pronounce it.
The town of Speed in South Australia should be in Utah.

I believe she is good friends with Edith Weston?
.
RAF North Luffenham is actually closer to Edith Weston but they called it North Luffenham so that the staff didn't have to answer the phone with "Edith Weston here"
Aaah, Petty France - had wedding reception there.
ElShalimo - surprised you didn't mention NetherThong which is even more Brazilian.
As for Wetwang...

See also Old Bolingbroke.
Thanks Nigel.
Jerusalem, just west of Lincoln

And yet Bag Enderby must be in Hobbiton.
Aberfoyle should be in Perthshire.
At least then I'd have been in the right area.
As a yellowbelly myself I'm quite chuffed with how many Lincolnshire places are getting a mention, we are normally 'the forgotten county'
.
Gibraltar Point.
Dildo, Newfoundland, sounds like it should be in, erm..., somewhere else.

Erm, Ashby Cum Fenby perhaps? Or down Fanny Hands Lane in Ludford?
One for @scapegoat - Scapegoat Hill is in Huddersfield, not near Westminster

I counted six on one hand
Any/many suggestions where Six Mile Bottom should be?
Incidentally, it's quite near Ugley
In Essex btw
FB-ATB chapeau sir!
My son has an office in Poundland, which sounds like it should be on the shit end of every high street everywhere, rather than South Ayrshire!
One of the places he manages is Sorn, which surprisingly is on a road in East Ayrshire….
And for the Calderdale Contingent, shouldn’t Barkisland be south of Canary Wharf?
Rievaulx sounds like it should be in France
Penrith and Penruddock could be in Wales
Lampeter sounds like a London suberb
Suburb
Glendale
Having abit of crisis of identity 😅

👍
Worryingly I'm in Stainland. There isn't a Y-front factory here
Always thought that Dunbar sounds like it should be on the West Coast.
Aspatria - sounds like it should somewhere in Greece
currently live in Surrey Hills...sour dough bakers, coffee shops, organic veg, wine bars (no pubs) and trees on the pavement...an inner Melbourne suburb (in Aus' not Derbyshire, in Victoria but not in Canada)...the "what tyres for Surrey Hills" threads somehow catch my attention
“what tyres for Surrey Hills”
Well when I lived in Elwood and cycled to Burwood to Deakin for Uni I used Specialized Fat Boys…
But I was always tempted to swap to some Onza Porcupines on the way through Malvern.
Ponsanooth sounds like a rough estate on the outskirts of Glasgow affectionately known as ‘Ponzy’
Not a village in Cornwall between Falmouth and Redruth
Scotswood in Newcastle sounds as if it should be in...scotland.
I lived in North Skelton for a handful of years. It's south-east of Skelton!
But it is north of the old site of South Skelton mine which no longer exists.
I went out with a girl for a while whose address was Roughley, Sutton Coldfield.
So not properly Sutton Coldfield, then.
Iceland can be found in a lot of towns in the UK.
Newark Castle
all of them
River Tyne
both of them
River Esk
all of them
Never understood what Wrexham is doing in North Wales
