A man after my own heart.

How childish.
Top man.
Upperthong
Netherthong
….and Wetwang.
The mayor of Wetwang is BBC Look North weatherman Paul Hudson. He is, somewhat appropriately, a prick.
Is that you, Peter?
Are you watching in Howwwwl?
This is how Peter Levy, and nobody else in the world, says Hull. Strange man.
He came into the pub with his posse one night many moons ago (Walters, since you ask). I said, quite instinctively but respectfully I thought, “Ooh, it’s Peter Levy”. Reader, he blanked me.
The local “Remain” campaign during the Brexit referendum was a big deal. Thong For Europe.
Does it have a lonely cafe you can sit in….?
Down the road fro me (or several roads actually) is Grandbottom Flash and Churn Knob.
The parish council of the former known locally, of course, as The Furious Five.
Essex offers Ugley, Messing-cum-Inworth (though that’s a parish made up of two small villages; I don’t know if you could find a sign other than a parish noticeboard with the name written on it), and my favourite Fingringhoe.
Not forgetting Mucking.
Let’s hear it for Tittenhanger.
…or Tittensor
Wyre Piddle.
Or piddle in the hole
Shitlington Common. I’m sure it is.
It depends on whether the yoofs have been out with their spraypaint!
On a moped?
I bet he’s worried in case he discovers there’s a small abandoned settlement called Fukk on an uninhabited island 50 miles out in the Atlantic.
What a top fella; I wish him every luck, good weather, strong inner tubes and a healthy spark-plug.
Hopefully he can make a detour to “Fuck” in Austria
Would that be near Wank?
There is a Wankstrasse near to Spitsbergen in Bavaria. My daughter and her cousin thought it was hilarious.
It’s ‘Fucking,’ not ‘Fuck.’ Or it was. It’s be re-named ‘Fugging.’
Is Mohamed Al-Fayed the mayor?
Perhaps through France, via Brest
Over Peover is the next village from here. Sadly, it is pronounced to rhyme with Jackie Weaver.
I used to dance Peover back in my terpsichorean days.
You can always tell when somebody is a visitor to the area, ” can you tell me the way to “Pea-over”
@fentonsteve you failed to mention your home town on the pictures, Dull, paired with Boring, Oregon USA.
No Dull round ‘ere (apart from me). Cambridgeshire is well served, though:
Ring’s End, Six Mile Bottom, Prickwillow, Tipps End, Shelford Bottom, Cock Bank (which runs up Whittlesey Dike), Butt Lane, Bushy Court, Sugar Way, Haggis Gap, Cockburn Street.
I’ve photobombed them all.
My dad told me that Six Mile Bottom is pronounced Seize Ma Boom. He’s was a bit of a wind-up merchant though…any truth in that @fentonsteve?
Dunno, it’s the other (Newmarket) side of town to me. I have a friend who lives in nearby Dullingham – I should live there, really.
Seize Ma Boom… one of Big Mama Thornton’s early 78s. Filthy, apparently.
Suppressed verse of the Maria Muldaur song:
Oh, don’t you seize ma boom, don’t you seize ma boom
‘Cos if you seize ma boom, we’ll need to get a room…
Rawridge (near Honiton, Devon).
Apply Sudocrem for relief.
We’ve got Fulking near us. The hill above it is Fulking Hill.
Is he going to make it all the way to Twatt?
Utterly pathetic. Grow up you people.

*sniggers uncontrollably*
The lad’s footy team play away at Soham. I’ll be sure to warn them of losing their balls in The Butts’ crack.
A trip into Gisburn Forest at, ahem Tosside, could see him emerging at Cocklick End.
As a keen outdoorsman, I like to follow Tosside with a Wrigglesworth, Wham, Mewith Head, and Moor Cock.
Goodness, you must be exhausted.
I think I may have mentioned here before; Gobblecock Cottage (near Woodbridge, Suffolk) and Crazy Marys Hole (near Lowestoft). Still looking for Buffins Bridge. . .
Well I’ve recently moved from just outside Penistone, whilst a mile down the road was a spot called Cheese Bottom
And don’t forget Willy Potty Poo Poo, unlike most cartographers.
Pratt’s Bottom in Kent?
Acock’s Green, Aldwincle, Altass, Ardgay, Arscott, Ashby Cum Fenby, Aslackby, Aslacton, Aslockton, Aspull, Aspull Common, Asselby, Asserby, Asserby Turn, Assington, Assington Green. Aston Botterell, Aston End, Aston Magna, Aston Rogers, Aston Subedge, Bachelor’s Bump, Bacon’s End, Bacup, Badger’s Mount, Badlipster, Badshot Lea, Bag Enderby, Bainshole, Baker’s End, Baldwin’s Gate, Ball Green, Ballchraggan, Ballinshoe, Balloch, Balls Cross, Balls Green, Bapchild, Bare, Barewood, Barley Hole, Barmollack, Barton In The Beans, Battledykes, Bawdrip, Beacon’s Bottom, Beaver, Beaver Green, Beazley End, Beck Hole, Beggar’s Bush, Benover, Betteshanger, Big Balcraig, Bigrigg, Bishop’s Itchington, Bishop’s Wood, Bliss Gate, Blowick, Boghall
Etc.
I grew up walking distance from Bacon’s End. When I was a young kid it was Woodland and mildly attractive. Now it is Maisonettes, unruly knobheads and and boy racers. Should be renamed Arse End.
Somewhere near Sandringham there’s a small village called Cat’s Bottom. Not exceptionally rude, but still always raises a snigger.
My favourite place name is Boggarts Roaring Holes near Clapham in the Yorkshire Dales.
This just appeared on my timeline.
Clitterhouse Crescent and Clitterhouse Road, in London NW2.
Impossible to find, even with a map.
This one’s not always easy to find – until now
The road to nowhere, if you ask me
Ha ha, I love those abbreviations. There’s one on the A49 near Weaverham in Cheshire which is abbreviated “W’HAM” which either makes sing “Freedom” or think of Julian Dicks.
There is also the medieval name for the road that brothels were found upon.
Bolton Percy never fails to raise a chuckle when it pops up on local radio.
Good luck to him getting a moped to the top of Brown Willy.
Not to mention
A little further north in the fair county of Brecknock, there used to be a station called Three Cocks Junction. My fellow railwaymen used to refer to it as ‘Lucky Man Junction’.
Nan True’s Hole is a pond near Stowmarket. Immortalised by Robert Wyatt as a track on “Matching Mole’s Little Red Record”.

Of course he could always take his moped across the channel.
