There was allegedly a road sign that said "To Old Bolingbroke and Mavis Enderby" to which someone had added "a son".

Growing up in Lincoln was confused how Jerusalem could be next to Skellingthorpe, but it was !

... and then there's New York.

Lincoln, New York, Boston, why did we name our towns after places in America, as every American tourist ever said.

Jerusalem, the West Bank. God's own county!

I always liked Wasps Nest. How big a nest must it have been to name a village after it?

Seven feet above sea level isn't everyone's idea of a hill.

 

[bristolimp]

some good ones near me - Temple Cloud, Queen Came, Ditcheat, West Camel and Batcombe. To be honest its harder to find an normal name.

My favourite street name is scumbrum lane!

Twatt is a favourite - although I have just returned from Condom in France

Don't forget East Yorkshire's contributions of the famous Wetwang, and there really is a Land of Nod near Goole, which I tried to find one day.....unsuccessfully, although judging by the sign posts I must have passed through it in my sleep at some point.
Also of course there is The Land of Green Ginger (a small street of professional's offices in the old town) which was the name for a fantastic play for today written by Alan Plater. Shot entirely on location in and around Hull in the time just before work on building The Humber Bridge began. There's even a shot of Barton in the distance as that is being discussed by the actors just to sneak a Lincolnshire reference in.

I think you might have been in lockdown for too long, Hully.

Actually, ignore this. I said I was signing off for the evening.

It must be time to say 'Mornington Crescent' and win the game?

The road signs in Norfolk are written how they speak, upon entering this small village a couple of weeks ago I was met with “Drive You Slow”.

A proper road sign not some cardboard on a pole I might add !
