Notter Bridge in Cornwall - if it's notter bridge wtf is it?

Halfway - it always seems further than that.

Diggle - rhymes with giggle

Tintwhistle - makes me smile for no real reason

I used to pass by some amusing place names on the way back to the UK from Germany: Titz and Coch near Monchengladbach, ****um near the Dutch/German border and Asse near Brussels.

I've not found any funny place names where i am now, except possibly Bitche just over the border in France

Currently staying near [i]Coat Pin[/i] in Brittany. Sounds like a particularly lame IRA informant.

I've been struggling to see this one overnight. Can you explain camo please. No issues, but having lived there all my life the humour in it has passed me by.

Yeah, I like all those small weird ones, but Ipswich remains my enduring comedy town.

Personally my absolute favourite is Fryup in the North Yorkshire moors... the marketing opportunties are endless.

Catchfrench (east Cornwall)
Mousehole
Budeleigh Salterton and Newton Poppleford both near Exeter/Woodbury Common. In fact now I think of it to get to Budeleigh from Exeter you go past the twin hamlets of Inner and Outer Ting Tong. 😀

There's Tiddlywink, a small group of cottages near Chippenham, on the way to Castle Combe. Then there's Piddletrenthide and Piddlehinton, both on the River Piddle in Dorset. Dorset has quite a collection around that area, like Beer Hackett, Droop, Clenstone Whatcombe, Up Cerne, Nether Cerne, Clapgate, Poxwell...
Then there's Fishpond Bottom, near Lyme Regis. Oh, and Tollpuddle and Affpuddle are on the River Piddle, but posh people changed the names from Tollpiddle and Affpiddle, 'cos they were too embarrassed to say where they lived. 😆
