Hi, Here in Wiltshire we have a 'Snappersnipes'! We also have a village called 'Gastard'. The 'G' on the sign is always being changed! We also have a 'Scotland' an 'Ireland' about half a mile from each other! Thanks for the laughs. Teresa. |

There is a Lower Upham near Bishop's Waltham in Hampshire, and a village called Pink Green just south of Birmingham. On a local note. There were 2 houses in Southbourne with their gates adjacent to each other. One was named Hitchin and the other Merrilea. One day some wag changed them to read "Scratchin Happilea" I won't tell you who did it. Jim |

Have to add this, James will go spare when he finds out. When I met my husband I thought he was gay. Don't ask me why, I just had that feeling. Maybe it was because he has a love for all things pink, I don't know. Well he had bought a home on Queen St here in Midland, and the next street over is called Manly St. So the joke was poor James, there he is not knowing what to do with himself stuck in between Queen and Manly. |

How about the poor people who live in Stinking Creek, Georgia, USA? And my inlaws live in South River, just south of North Bay, Ontario. |

There used to be an area of Northampton called Buttocks Booth. They changed the name some years ago. I wonder why?! Janet |
