Funny place / street names

Postby Stef » Wed 23.11.2011, 11:36

A new mission has been set up to catalogue funny street and place signs.

Childish I know but but that's my sense of humour!

Sadly, my previous catalogue has been lost, even the wonderous Twatt I travelled all the way to in Orkney.

So far I have:

Bell End
Titty-Ho
Willey

A small starting block, however I also have these places planned to visit:

Six Mile Bottom
Upend
Sluts Hole
Hooker Road
Feltwell
Old
Ultra Close

So, any suggestions will be appreciated! :-D

Cheers!

Thanks so far!

Kent isn't on my ventures currently but good names to consider.

Sussex is possible and Upper/Lower Dicker I am familiar with, just forgotten about them! Will have to try for those when next down in Creepy Crawley!

Where are Ugley and Nasty?

I was in Bar Fanny in downtown Barca last week. A bit of a misnomer though - only old Spanish guys and me - not a woman to be seen in sight :lol: :lol:

How about Cocklick End in Lancashire. (Just to the right of the Streetmap arrow)

Always makes me laugh that one!

and The Land of Nod in Yorkshire. (There's also one in Hampshire.)

You could always try Andrew's Knob (near Pott Shrigley) and Ward's Knob (east of Macclesfield next to Tegg's nose) Stef

Superman fans might make a side trip to Walnut Creek, California to visit Lois Lane. Those who like the Grand Old Opry should visit the two sequential streets in Kansas City, KS, Minnie and Pearl.

If we're doing knob jokes, there are some great driving roads around Lord Hereford's knob. Combine with a day out to visit the Elan Valley? Then a bit further over you can probably be the only Lotus driver in the village
