Strangest Place Name

[Russ]

I drive through this village every evening and there's usually a tourist having his/her photo taken next to the sign.... and sometimes they even get stolen.

I was in Mavis Enderby a few weeks ago...............

Maybe I ought to rephrase that :-k

During a visit to the East coast, earlier this month, I visited the village of Mavis Enderby

I think Penistone is pronounced Pennisstun. Wasn't there a Nether Piddle to go with Wyre Piddle too?

On a road trip round the states years ago me and brother were passing through Utah I think and looking out for amusing place names, found a Hurricane and then a Leeds. Arrive at a motel in the evening and the lovely lady running it asked if we'd come in via so and so route as it was very pretty and had lovely views, we said no we came in via the interstate but didn't have the heart to tell her that the only reason we did was so that we could take our pictures next to the roadsign in a little place called Beaver

One placename that always tickles me is 'Barton in the Beans' apparently they used to grow a lot of Broad Beans in the area.

Ah yes,

I went on a trip on Phil's narrowboat past there last year. As I was working a lock gate I looked down into the water just as several empty Vaseline tubes floated past.

:shock:

Nice place...

Whilst holidaying in Denmark a few years ago we found a local brand of liquorice sweets amusing - spaff. For some reason a friend felt the need to get a t-shirt with it on.

And I had to get a photo of
