A place called what..!.!.!

Well, this weekend on the way up to Malvern, I passed a sign for 'Picken End'.

Presumably any end will do...

Cumbria has a "Cockup," "Little Cockup" and a "Great Cockup" as well as some strange spellings of places such as Torpenhow pronounced Trepenna

I love the sound of Little Snoring, and Great Snoring, not far from Stiffkey in Norfolk

Think I'll send hubby off to Great Snoring ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Drove through these yesterday.  I wouldnt have taken much interest before reading this but there is a road sign as you enter saying "High Accident Risk Area".   Is that cos theyre all sleeping at the wheel?
Also on the way is Sculthorpe which has numerous red signs saying "Cats Eyes Removed" (moggy lovers beware!)
And Melton Constable - is that cos the weather is hot?

Helhoughton - and it was!  Got stuck behind what I politely call 'Rolling Roadblocks' - the dreaded caravans!!!

Loweswater has some safe roads even the road signs say "Red squirrels drive with care"

So I can't work out if they have to drive with care, or if they do drive with care

That reminds me of all the
DANGEROUS
CHILDREn
signs

There is a village in Perthshire near Aberfeldy called Dull but my favourite is a called Pool of Muckhart.  We looked at buying a house there but the name did put us off a bit!

Nothumberland has a "Once Brewed" and a "Twice Brewed" on the old military Road, and isn't there a mousehole or similar sounding place in Devon or Cornwall (sorry to any locals for not knowing which)

I used to live in Giggleswick, near Settle.  It used to be in West Yorkshire but it was moved to North Yorkshire.

I was married in Settle.  When my Aunt told her children she was going to Settle in Yorkshire they wondered why she wanted to move.

A village called YELLING ( I think near Huntingdon) is heard to have a Yelling Mums and Toddlers group
