    I used to pass by some amusing place names on the way back to the UK from Germany: Titz and Coch near Monchengladbach, Wankum 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

    I live close to Penistone as suggested earlier. Theres a small place called Cheesebottom close by. Scunthorpe if you emphasise certain letters amused us slightly, we always used to mispronounce Cleethorpes to sound like an STD. ie. Cleth rop ees. maybe not so funny now eh.

    Currently staying near Coat Pin 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.

    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. 😀
