Bonks Hill
Ugley (where the WI is called the "Women's Institute of Ugley", as opposed to the "Ugley Women's Institute" ;))

Not exactly near me, but there is a place in Newfoundland called Dildo.

See here and here for info...

I used to live in Wyre Piddle, nice spot and it brought some good memories back to see the name again.

Guess you live near me then Megaz as all the same, though growing up with Clitheroe and Ramsbottom, they dont sound funny to me anymore.

At least I know how the Japanese place name is pronounced, which makes a change as I can't even read most Japanese ;)

And what makes it any different to your contribution?

I know Croes Goch isn't supposed to be pronounced the way it is by some people but it is and it is amusing. Your offering I found amusing although its only amusing when mis-pronounced.

Don't be such a spaniel, this is supposed to be for amusement isn't it?

I Work in Cockermouth.

Also two of the local fells are "Great Cockup" & "Little Cockup" - Dennis Norden presented one of his programmes from the first one a few years ago...
