Its in Crap, Switzerland.

I can’t find a more up to date photo, but this is a village on the Herts/Cambs border

I can’t help grinning after every stop on the east bound Piccadilly Line when tanoy announces that “this train is for Cockfosters”. Silly I know, but gets me every time!

Just south of Fraserburgh on the A90 there is sign pointing to ‘Gash’….

Not too far from me in Cheshire are the Pee-overs, (spelled Peover). Upper, lower, over and Pee-over Superior. The locals call them ‘Peever’ but that’s just an affectation.

And across the Solent:

I’ve driven a hire car through

The Apse Heath sign has been a ‘target for vandals for many years’ explained Sergeant Pratt.

😆

As cheating seems to be tolerated, a nice town in Switzerland:

I can offer Lyminge which always seems to amuse, we also have a Pett Bottom too!

I saw this while out riding yesterday- i was expecting a bloke dressed as Worzel Gummidge or something to jump out at me!

Also this was a local Olympic event location during the summer

I always cycle through Pratts Bottom on my weekend cycle rides….

Is that on the Pilgrims Way up through the North Downs? I recognise that little ‘tree tunnel’ 😀

We cycled along MYCOCK lane yesterday in the Peak District.

I live not to far from BELL END and LICKEY END….

There is a FANNY LANE in North Yorkshire..and a DICK LANE in Bradford.

Cockbush Avenue, Hertford 😆

Scunthorpe.

I quite like the French town of Bitche as well. Particularly if you say it with an earthy Gallic accent.

London’s full of amusing places 😆

Chevin Cycles in Otley is on Gay Lane and coming home from the Morvelo Citycross, went past Straight Lane in Halifax. Just need to find By Lane and I’ve got the set

Went past ‘Pocket Handkerchief Lane’ near Dinninton the other week.

Slack Bottom in Huddersfield, as well as a Solid.

Bolton Percy always strikes me as needing a hyphen.

Norfolk has a Clenchwarton, which always strikes me as a good euphemism for piles.

Ofter ride past cottagers lane, ironically on the way to Manfield.

Never been tempted to detour.

Dangerous Hill. just off the Long Mynd
