Living in Dorset/Somerset means that we are inundated with stupid names.

Passed close to Curry Mallet last weekend

Nearby are Curry Rivel, North Curry, Catherine Wheel and Stoke St. Gregory. The whole area is full of them.

Also, when I lived up Yorkshire I always wanted to have my address in Crackpot:

Everytime we drive to Tenby, we have to hold back the guffaws as we pass through the little village of 'pant', which is mildy amusing in itself.

But halfway alogn the high street its the proud, bright signage above the doors of

"Pant Accident Repair centre" that really gets me going hehe
