Funniest place name?

Sign spotted on a rare trip down the A13. Vange Fobbing sounds like something you wouldn't Google from work!

Grape Lane in York was originally called 'Grope Lane'.

The censorship thing is over a word that rhymes with 'punt'.

Then, there are Lower Peover and Peover Superior. Must be into watersports...

Used to live near a place called Upper Carse, near Inverness.

The village sign pretty much always has the C of Carse painted over in white paint - which was amusing.

Not a place but a person, a journo reporting on attacks on migrants in the Netherlands. He/she is called Wierd Duk.

I don't have time to check 11 pages, but driving from Phoenix to Sedona passes Dry Beaver Creak and Wet Beaver Creake.

This always makes my snigger when I drive through...

Deepest darkest Lincolnshire if I recall correctly.

Used to pass it every year on the way to Manby for the Opposite Lock stages. Must have gone there every year for at least a decade and we used to watch for it every time

For some reason Nether Poppleton near York always makes me smile when I say it

I always smile when driving through.......

I notice the road sign here has been stolen but you can still see the name on the ground

When building Sheffield Airport and the associated Europa business park the first agreed tenant was South Yorkshire Police, who got to name the road.

Vange and Fobbing are 2 separate places (one on either side of A13 as it happens)
