BCH traffic police were busy there earlier.
Mind, my two local people villagesiare Fernaux Pelham and its actor brother Brent Pelham.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

I think Mavis Enderby in Lincolnshire is the most wonderful name for a village. I always caused us to giggle.

I believe it is alleged that Mavis Enderby is very close to Old Bolingbroke....

When visiting my other half's step-father the road called Walking Bottom always caused a bit of hilarity....

I live near Canford Bottom and we have the River Piddle nearby plus a whole lot of Piddle villages and a Piddle brewery with, of course, a wide selection of Piddle ales (plus some other ales with equally rude names :shock: ).

I love the village called Wetwang...they have an excellent Scarecrow festival each year.
Somewhere in East Yorkshire...out Howden way, I think...is Land of Nod.
Somewhere else, though I can't remember where, is Lost.

On one of the Orkney isles, there is a hamlet called ....oh no, I daren't put that on here!
(but it begins with T and ends with TT with WA in the middle.)
Happy with my lot
