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

    That's because that is EXACTLY what it's like
  • 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.

    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

  • Used to pass by Feltham Close in Hampshire(?) shortly after Nether Wallop on holiday as a kid.

    With his very own Wetwang
  • 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.

  • Ponders End - a 1950s film where a character considers their mortality
    Elmers End - where children's books go to die

    Blandford Forum - a gentle old-fashioned cure for insomnia
  • Sandy Beds

    Dildo in, I think, Austria

    Cumming, Georgia
