There are two twats in Scotland, one on the Orkneys and one on the Shetlands - which would be the northernmost twat in UK.

Already mentioned on page 2 of this very thread.

Maidenhead in Kent.

 

Ironic - there hasn't been a virgin in Kent in years.

No but there is a "Badger's Mount" in Kent, also "Upper Dicker" & "Lower Dicker".

 

"Cockfosters" at the end of the tube line. I always thought it would be amusing if onboard a train pulling in to the station to be asked by a tourist "Excuse me is this Cockfosters" to which I would reply no it's mine! (Playground joke from the eighties) :D

It's amazing what threads are actually on here if you root around enough.

 

Anyway, over in the next county from me (Dorset), there are two villages called Piddletown & Puddletown, which never failed to make my sister & I piddle ourselves laughing as kids when we drove past the road signs.

Dorset is full of strange places:

 

Piddlehinton and Piddletrenthide - both on banks of the River Piddle. Downstream are Tolpuddle, Puddletown and Affpuddle. They changed from 'Piddle' in Victorian times. Not far away is Shitterton - that has changed to Sitterton on two occasions in response to the sensibilities of some locals. Now got its 'h' back.

 

It made me giggle on me holidays too.

 

Also Ryme Intrinsica; Sixpenny Handley; Whitchurch Canonicorum and Toller Porcorum.

 

Beats Newtown, I suppose.

Isn't it Maidenhead in Berkshire and Maidstone in Kent?

 

Still won't find a virgin in Kent though! Particulary in the Dartford area. :D

It just occurred to me that on my campus, Hump Hill is right in front of Boner Hall (someone stole the second "N" again).

I have a problem with Canada.

 

America has Americans

 

But Canada has CanadIans

 

Surely, either Canada should be Canadia or Canadians should be Canadans?

In my town there's a section that has streets with letter names. I once delivered a pizza to 4Q in the rear.

Further investigation reveals that the pub at Bell End is called the Bell Inn - perhaps the Bell End Inn was just taking the joke a little too far?

 

DWB ;)

I used to live near "The Organ Inn". When people asked directions they'd ask "How far's the Organ Inn?" :)

My brother claims to have once visited 'The Whippet Inn'

 

I refused to beleive him.

From a "Carry On" film I think.

I think you're correct. Hence my suspicion.

I'd say there are more like 4 million twats in Scotland.

 

Only joking - my grandad was a Scot. Tight bastard.

Just recently I had the pleasure of going up Benny Hill.

It was very cold and wet up there.
