KK, there's an excellent pub in Winchester called the Black Boy but their pub sign is quick to make it clear that the boy is a young chimneysweep blackened by his trade - I imagine the Lane refers to the same thing, not that that would stop any renaming fervour.


Nero, I don't even know what Wetwang means but it sounds filthy!

We are going to Balchik, Bulgaria for our summer holiday this year. I am going to have to go and find it now!


Near Puddletown in Dorset is Piddlehinton and Piddletrenthide (just this side of Dorcester)

There?s a place near where I grew up in SA called, Daggafontein which translated into English is, Marijuana Springs.


There is also a Wankie in Matabeleland in Zimbabwe. Although in latter years they have tried to hide their embarrassment by ?Africanising? it to Hwange. But it will always be Wankie.

What? Are you absolutely sure you don't mean the company Knob Source outside of Doncaster who sell door knobs and knockers (:))) ?


I'm not doubting you and my geography of South Yorkshire is a bit rusty these days .. so apologies in advance!

There's also one in North London, it's in the Edmonton area I think.

An ex of mine once took a coach through Muff when it was having a civic festival or somehting many years ago (Muff is tiny so it must have been a really naff festival). ANyway she said there was a banner over the road proudly declaring 'Muff Explodes!'


The mind boggles.

I suspect that village in Somerset has been mis-pronounced... the actual name, that reflects its rural heritage, is Dairy Bullocks.

    • So that suggests the consultations with 'community' are just a tick box exercise where information given cannot be relied on. Not a good look. I hope Renata Hamvas who is the local councillor, as well as licensing, finds a way to stop the wholesale, spreadingmonetisation of an important green space in summer. If they get this it'll end up like Brockwell Park before you know it.
    • I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".
    • Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.
    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is?
