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.

    • I'm a bit of an architecture geek and I must confess I find it one of the most gimmicky ugly redesigns I've seen in a while. I'm always open to quirky but this is just not nice in any way shape or form.

    • Another recommendation for Niko. Great communication, top guy, and super reliable and skilled - all at a fair price. Takes a lot of care in what he does and talks you through everything. 
    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
