Do you live anywhere near a place with a funny name?
http://places.jump-around.com/closest/
I get.... Cock Pond Pratt's Bottom Mincing Lane Rear Wood Tyttenhanger Hooker's Farm Right, now let's get streetmap out so I can find my way to the last place http://boardroom.wscc.co.uk/iB_html/...icons/wink.gif http://boardroom.wscc.co.uk/iB_html/...ns/biggrin.gif |
Hmm , either you live very close to me or there is something amiss ...
Cock Pond Mincing Lane Titsey Park Pratt's Bottom Knob Hill Tyttenhanger |
stevenm2k - south croydon mate. there's a few I ommited from my list that are in yours! :D
|
Theres a place close to me that is spelled roughly Queos Goch and some call it "Queers C$ck"
Theres also a village called "Square and Compass" and there is a village around these parts called "Bethlehem" - the last ones not to funny but would be amusing to say you live in Bethlehem. And as for the spelling of the places that are very welsh there no way I can spell the things! |
Ah that would be right then. All the london ones will be about the same distance from me in Chessington.

<snip> And as for the spelling of the places that are very welsh there no way I can spell the things! Phonetically it should be CR-OICE (as in V-OICE) GOR-CH (CH as in.... well OK the sound doesn't exist in the English language) If you live in Wales you should learn how to prounounce these names. Welsh place names are in some ways easier to pronounce than English once you know the rules, the way it is written is the way it is promounced. In English a single group of letters can be pronounced in many different ways, or indeed the same sound can be represented by different letters :o My funny place name is from Japan, a tiny little village in the middle of nowhere where I got stranded at a railway station. Saka****a - summed up my thoughts at the time. (real pronounciation Sak-ash-ta) |
I don't live too far away from Cold Christmas :)
And according to the Ordnance Survey it's not too far north of Noah's Ark :) |
