    Always remember the inner sleeve notes to Paul Young's No Parlez album in the 80s. Featured loads of photos of him and the group as they made the album. One was of a place they went through and had the caption of "have you ever..."


    Shitterton (in Dorset I believe).

    In Malaysia, there is Klang, which might ring bell with some of you. And, of course, Kuching - the sound of an old fashioned till closing.

    Budleigh Salterton. I like that - sounds like a TV antiques expert

    two villages just north of Lincoln: Toft Next Newton and Newton By Toft .. a bit like Patrick fits Michael and Michael fits etc. etc. .. there is another place on a small canal in the same area named Brandy Wharf .. a local comedian has expertly changed all the local road signs to Randy Dwarf

    Reminds of when I worked in Manchester and the signs for Canal Street had their first letters removed. Quite appropriate for the area ;-)

    Last one - Slough - it evokes a bloated corpse of a pig in some sort of fetid Dickensian sump

    You beat me to it. Always have a giggle as we pass through Wetwang whenever we go to Filey.

    I always laughed at a sign the other side of Blackwall Tunnel that said 'Bow Locks this way'.

    Always seems to feature on Look North weather - or is that them trying to seem ironic or tongue in cheek?
