I remember a charity comedy show from Nether Wallop, Hampshire. The host welcomed every one to the nether regions, British humor so this may not translate :P

There's a little town about 15 minutes from me that caught my eye: Boring, Maryland (US).

Digressing slightly, that reminds me of an entry in Yellow Pages - "Boring - see Civil Engineers"

I particularly like the town of Muff, in County Donegal. Not sure if it is true but I was told they have a diving association.

 

:)

 

 

Also there is an area near Garmisch Partenkirchen called "Wank" where they have a Wank area and a Wank cable car but to mention a few.......

You've just beaten me to Wank. Perhaps I'd better rephrase that. You mentioned Wank before I did

 

There's a Lickers Lane and a Slag Lane near where I used to live and Fistard near where I live now.

 

Now if it came to rude personal names I've come across a few. Perhaps I'd better rephrase that too

Of course there's also Canal Street in Manchester and people are always scribbling out the c and s

 

For those not in the British Isles I should point out Canal Street is the centre of the gay area of Manchester

There's also a "Wankum" in Germany up near Kempen by the Dutch border which some people find amusing.

Has anyone ever lived anywhere with a silly or rude name? I once lived near Effingham (twinned with Blindingham?)

Is that like the effingham in Illinois or since you have a British looking logo, is it one in England or thereabouts? I have been through the one in Illinois. Lovely little place with a railroad going through part of the center at least there was back in the late 1970s when I rode a greyhound bus through there. Had a map of it too for a while but seem to have misplaced it or throwed it out.

There is a street in East Kilbride (in Scotland) called Strait Dykes. A contradiction in terms if ever I saw one. :lol:

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.
