O/T strange place names

[heysham_mfc]

following a feature run on tonights thye one show in which they visited a part of Cardiff named Splot got me thinging about the stragest place names I have been to I fird one that srring to mind is that place in Wales with the longest name in the world (no i'm not going to try and spell it )

[Bare Ben]

I've never been there but apparently Twatt in the Shetland Isles is wonderful.

[Howe Magic]

Bell end in surrey must take some beating or what about

[CASS]

Ok someone has to do it !! Pls feel free to chastise, disembowel or what ever. But it is a place in Austria.

There's a village/suburb in Durham City called 'Pity Me'.

[Number 1]

You're right, but your sign was leaving the place. As you enter, you see:



Or how about this place in Dorset:

[Harry]

Come on, I think everyone's missing the obvious

Cockermouth!

[Aal]

I guess the Austrian place would be pronounced....FOOKING, but still an embarrasing place to live.

I always thought that Raith sounded like a weird name for a footy team but of course it's not a place name (they did not dance in the streets of Raith when they won the league cup in the 90s)

My favourite name place that sounds a bit odd is PENISTONE in Yorkshire.

(Sounds rather painful!!!)

[Blackburn shrimp]

How about Ramsbottom and if you lived at the top of the town would you come from upper Ramsbottom

[Aspers]

There's a place in Victoria called BUMBANG!

Is that where they have a lot of cunning stunts

[Howe Magic]

There is a wierd place in Yorkshire too called wetwang

[Martin]

Of course there's always Keith

as well as Arnold, Stanley, Dudley, Ashley, Barney, Barry and not forgetting Shirley.

Not only towns dotted around Britain, but also happen to be the real names of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!

[Curly]

Ironically enough there's a place in Germany, near Bayern called Wank, obviously the natives are Wankers.

See for yourself!

Also near the village of California in Norfolk (I kid you not), is another place called Scratby, which sounds a very itchy place to live.

[Richard Head]

There is an area in Orlando called Doctor Philips

You see Ben if you had used that terminology yesterday everything would have been fine!

Think of the ridicule the Upperthong Brownies have to suffer!

I've never been there but apparently Twatt in the Shetland Isles is wonderful.

It's both the wettest and warmest place in Scotland, and has strong links with the fishing industry.

[chipbuns]

i'm sure ive seen somewhere in America a place called "Gaylordsville"
