'Fingringhoe' lewd and local too - bonus. Did you have <I>Stifford Clays </I>on your list? Could be a Cowboy movie star, an 'adult' film actor or the mix that Cynthia Plaster Caster (a myspace friend of mine) uses.<BR/><BR/>Mr DD marvellous how could you resist if your 16 and tanked up on Woodpecker cider and got a marker pen handy.<BR/><BR/>RE - I went to Southwold/ Aldbeburgh/Thorpeness for a week last year (as the cotswolds were flooded)and it <I>is </I>gorgeous.

My parents until recently lived in the Cotswolds too.<BR/>The longer I live in London though, the more the country unnerves me. Maybe I should fix that before I turn into a bonafide city slicker. Actually I can't see that ever happening fully.Suzy Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01274429936276235291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787318184303967296.post-43928564583337075942008-04-09T10:59:00.000+01:002008-04-09T10:59:00.000+01:00From yesterdays paper....http://www.telegraph.co.u...From yesterdays paper....<BR/><BR/>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/09/nlunt109.xml<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mr Double DownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787318184303967296.post-47571452936472745402008-04-08T23:45:00.000+01:002008-04-08T23:45:00.000+01:00Funny enough, I had a thing about mad town names s...Funny enough, I had a thing about mad town names some years back, there are some crackers around...<BR/><BR/>Anus in France is always a winner, there's a Tittisee in Germany and Cockplay in Scotland!<BR/><BR/>But did you know just a few short miles up the road, just outside Colchester is Fingringhoe?<BR/><BR/>Strange but true!<BR/><BR/>Welcome back by the way!<BR/><BR/>PileyPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787318184303967296.post-72382880632422712732008-04-08T22:03:00.000+01:002008-04-08T22:03:00.000+01:00how about the bit of mitcham called "lonesome" or ...how about the bit of mitcham called "lonesome" or the area up in Edmonton called "freezy water" or isn't a "dorking" a filthy verbBLTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564846497205095201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787318184303967296.post-25713368937288803312008-04-08T16:59:00.000+01:002008-04-08T16:59:00.000+01:00Thanks BL, Once you go international it explodes ...Thanks BL, Once you go international it explodes with fruity rudeness 'Gobblers Knob', 'Peniscola' are two fine examples.

The enjoyment of delightful place names is universal, I was drawn into this by growing up close to places named "Penistone" pronouced "Pen is ton" and "wombwell" often said Womb well! In Spain we went to "Peniscola" (hmm tasty) where they filmed El Cid. I'm sure some the places you mention where so called just to confuse tourist as I defie anyone to say all them corectly without help. Holborn's bad enough!BLTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564846497205095201noreply@blogger.com
