    You lot would like "the meaning of life" by Douglas Adams. There are two villages in Warwickshire (I think) called askhim Richard and ask him Bryan. Sounds like two office comedians daring each other to do something silly.

    I always thought Peasedown St John sounded like a retired, angry Major

    None of you are playing properly. It has to be a two word name, and has to conjure up a picture of someone in your mind (literary character, movie star etc)

    Sorry @Leroy Ambrose

    How about those old time Scottish entertainers from Perth...Shaggy and Fanny Burn.

    In Hereford, you also have that long lost, brassy cousin of the Emmerdale favourites...Booby Dingle.

    Actually I'd say kimbolton (Been there) sounds more like an eighties popstar - stone washed jeans and power perm
