    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!

    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 I always chuckle when I am in Cornwall – sitting next to Roughtor on Bodmin is ‘Brown Willy’!

    And a nice little bridle round the corner from Pratts Bottom is ‘Bogey Lane’

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

    Scunthorpe.

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

    Slack Bottom in Huddersfield, as well as a Solid.

    Stainland always draws a smile from outsiders.

    Pisser Clough (back up near Hebden,)
    http://streetmap.co.uk/place/Pisser_Clough_in_Calderdale_405611_544611.htm
    and it’s near neighbour Shitten Clough. ), you need a 1:25,000 to find them

    Bolton Percy always strikes me as needing a hyphen.

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