What a bonkers...and lovely...thing to do.

[gness]

Don't you just love folk who are just that little bit different and a lot of fun... :-)

isn't Dull twinned, or tripleted or something, with Bland in Australia as well?

[wolf63]

I've seen a book that had all these places listed. I've been through Dull and a place called Drum.

It is nice when people lighten up - AB can be a bit serious sometimes where posters fight to the bitter end to prove that they are right and everybody else is wrong.

I'm off to bed to read a Stargate Atlantis book. I love that programme.

Soapy Boob VVank sounds like a nice place.

There's nothing quite like English eccentricity.

true story: i was travelling around the Shetlands several yrs ago. When i got talking to a local in Lerwick. Who told me about a couple in T wat who are also called T wat)they changed their names to Mr& Mrs T.Wat. to stop name calling. I'm not sure it worked.

to be fair, wolf, Bonnie Guitar wasn't her real name

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Guitar

Nancy Whiskey wasn't baptised that way either.

[wolf63]

jno - you cheated and read wiki. ☺

[jno]

I knew those weren't their real names, but I didn't know what they actually were.

[jno]

well, that was very mean of the channel owner. It was supposed to be Freight Train. And I can't find a Dark Moon to link to either.

[jackthehat]

I grew up in one of the villages mentioned in the article. The roadname only seemed to cause us to snigger up to about the age of 8 (make that a couple of years/decades later for the boys....). LoL

Hope he makes it to Sandwell.

They are inventive and funny maps. Amusing but not rude there are two places in Norfolk called Little Snoring and Great Snoring. Sleepy villages?.
