    Idle jr has just started working in a pub in a little village called Cockpole Green. Clearly some sort of STD.
    The pub is called The Horns.

    Places like Bagshot and Middle Wallop always remind me of the Two Ronnies, on the other hand......

    The United States Geological Survey classifies Wankers Corner as a "locale":[1] "a place at which there is or was human activity".

    Love it! So much activity the Geological Survey had to get involved!

    I drove through a place called Battledykes in Scotland, it conjured up the image of 100 foot robot Amazonian lesbians with thick Scottish accents fighting it out to the death.

    Nice

    I would drive past a pub every day on my way home from work, called The Sloop. Which despite being a type of boat sounds more like something discharged during afterbirth to me.

    Indian Queens, sounds like it should be found in Lower Manhatten rather than Cornwall.
    Lovely song about it by Nick Lowe

    Village not far from me called Wetwang. Named after an incontinent earl apparently. Or maybe not.

    Are you in Beverley AUN?

    No, living in the historic Ryedale market town of Malton at the moment.

    and who can forget Wetcock Innear?

    Not a place name but something that happened to "a friend of mine" in a seedy Swansea bar once.

    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)

    Well to recap my two in the light of the rules clarification:

    Old Wives Lees is three words and thus void it would appear but nevertheless puts me in mind of a Stepford Wives scenario in a remote village.

    Huish Episcopi puts me in mind of a jovial pickwickian dickensian character spreading bon homie to all whom he encounters.
