Try this if you wish to know if there are any amusing place names near your postcode area... places.jump-around.com/closest/ - be warned, some sound a bit crude! (I.e. Just learned I'm not that far from Lord Hereford's Knob! pmsl That is also known as the Twmpa. )

I drive through a village called Six Mile Bottom on my way to work every day, and today we went past Feltwell.

When I lived in Worcestershire there were quite a few strange place names and I once bought a pony from a place called Wyre Piddle.
