There is a small town called Wankum just over the German border past Venlo and it always made me smile for some juvenile reason. :lol: :oops:

A village in Somerset called Bower Hinton which by its self sounds rather innocuous until you telephone a German (English speaking) call centre for computer help if you own a Gericom lap top for example. Who said that the Germans do not have a sense of humour when you asked for your address and mention Bower Hinton only for the operator to laugh at you as literal translation of Bower is farmer and Hinton is behind! Needless to say thy find it funny that the English live in the Farmers Behind!
:lol: :roll:

Not a place name, really, but I was brought up in a street called Titup Hall Drive in Headington, Oxford. Apparently the road which it came off was the old coach road to London, and as the drivers approached Shotover Hill, they shouted "Titup, Titup" to the horses; there was supposed to have been a Hall there as well :roll: . Mind you it could have been a local councillor having a joke on the residents - it' still there....
Some pretty embarrasing moments when telling people our address - where? T I T U P (snigger :roll: )

Not what this link says, mind you....

I know it well from my City of Oxford bus driving days in the late '50s early '60s.

Hi

Zebedee has linked to one of our local villages ....Wyre Piddle

a few more appear in a local rhyme:

Upton Snodsbury, Peopleton and Crowle,
Wyre Piddle, North Piddle
And Piddle in the Hole.

EDIT :oops: whoops should have followed the link :lol:

never mind I'll add another local one:- White Ladies Aston... that one always amuses me.. as does Lickey End :wink: but that's up near Bromsgrove and they are a bit strange up there...it's getting near Brum

I remember going to Hell in Norway! :oops: (Hell is east of Trondheim.)

And in Kent, there is a signpost which points to two villages:

Ham
Sandwich :lol:

In Scortland, there's always a giggle for Ecclefechan! Sounds like a serious expletive! 8O
