As part of my birthday present, a relative has booked us a night at a lovely hotel in Sandwich which is not that far away. What made me laugh, though Β is that the name of the village is Ham! Hmmmm. wonder what the menu is like?
Do you have any funny place names nearby?
This is a lovely conversation thread. I am having a hoot π

In the Pacific NW (USA) we have many names taken from Native American history/culture–they do look and sound funny, though no disrespect is intended. People from other areas are quite stymied as to how to pronounce many of them–and that’s amusing to locals π

Yes, I agree, it is funny when we can’t pronounce something and stumble over words π

I don’t but my brother lives in a cluster of Piddles – Piddle Hinton, Piddle Trenthide – Tolpuddle, famous for its martyrs was originally Tolpiddle but I suppose no one would have taken them seriously and the British Labour movement might never have happened.

We’ve got a Hell, Michigan here in my great state… Leaves one w-i-d-e open to tell people to go to… and remarking about Hell freezing over… loads of fun for certain.
