I can't believe you forgot Cockburnspath

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

There's also Cockermouth

Can't believe you forgot the pride of Dorset: Scratchy Bottom and Shitterton.

And yes, Shitterton is over a thousand years old and has always meant something like that

Let's not forget Dorset also has the village of Sandy Balls

I can't belive they didn't include Westward Ho!, the only place name in the UK which officially includes an exclamation mark.

Not sure if I want to live in Beer or Catbrain. Is there a Catbeer?
