Discussion
In todays "Daily Wail" on page 22 - ist piece on a new book by Rob Bialey und Ed Hurst called Rude Britain .. und here are some of the contenders.
Would you wish to live here und who do you think should live here?
1.OLD SODBURY ((Please Drive Carefully! :rofl:) (Seem this was once Sopeberie in Domesday Book)
2. SANDY BALLS (It seem it is from Sandyballas which had sandy gravel) :confused:
3. NORTH PIDDLE (Form Old English "pidele" meaning stream (und we have "puddles" today ;). It seem North Piddly has lush green field as result of marshy puddles... ;)
4. SLAG LANE (in :rolleyes: Merseyside... it seem that "Slag" was originally scsouser for "rubbish"
5. SCRATCHY BOTTOM :rofl: Ist apparently describing rugged und rough hollow :rofl: (Ist too much...)
6. SPITAL -IN - THE - STREET .. ist :nono: to do this ;) but ist from Old Englishh (Ist Saxon - we have "Spital" in Austrian German und "Spittel" in Schwyzerduetz as word for HOSPITAL.) Ist possible that there was a hospital on a street in this Lincolnshire hamlet as it was on Roman route northwards. Section of A15 was site of a Roman road.
7. UPPER DICKER :rofl: Ist in Eastbourne area - in olde worlde England - it seem that traders "dickered" or "barted" but it could also be related to "dix" - French for 10. Dyker was Middle English or Norman word for TEN und ground rent was ten iron rods.
8. BACK PASSAGE :confused: ist an alley way in London und a back passageway between Smithfield Meat market und the Barbican.
9. EAST BREAST - ist a cul-de sca in Docklands Ist unclear where name come from but :rofl: they say it originate form shape of a hill (ist typical - only a man could have such ideas... ;) It seem as well that the verb "to breast" means to confront resolutely... Ach so .. that is why that pose und that look ist so effective.... ;) :hehe:
10. FELTWELL - Bustling Norfolk village ist at a spring (well) where the mulleine of felte grows... ist settlement by the stream.
11. BLADDA :rofl: Ist a street in Paisley which was site of Bladda Fever Hospital :confused: Ist a Gaelic word und origin ist obscure :confused:
12. HOOKER ROAD - ist a residential road (:laugh: I would not buy house here....) But Ist named after William Hooker who was botanist und director of Kew Gardens. Ist unfortunate that they did not give street his full name of William Jackson Hooker Street - that has a [i] stateley [/i] ring to it - nicht?
13. UGLEY - ist in Domesday Book as Ugghelea "Leah" ist Old Englsh word for "wood" und Ugga lived there ;)
14. SPANKER LANE :rofl: I think I would not even think of buying house here... Ist is Derbyshire in village called Nether Heague und ist named after a seventeenth century horse called Spanker who was spankingly good at racing in parlance of the day.
15. PRATTS BOTTOM! :laugh: Ist village in Kent which ist at bottom of the hill. Ist from "pratum" Latin for meadow - so "place at the bottom of a meadow..." ;)
16. CRAPSTONE - Please drive carefully :rofl: :rofl:
It seems that Crapstone's origin ist obscure - no one will own up to this. But it seems that as you pass the turn off on A386 north from Plymouth - you pass a large rugged boulder. Perhaps the person who set up home here did not hink much of the boulder :laugh:
Are there others und who should live there?

Personally, I like the name of one particular street in bristol.
It's just off of Berkeley Place, which is the last road on the left going up the hill on Park Street.
It's a tiny little dead-end side street about 50 yards long.
It's called 'There and Back Again Lane'.

'sevenoaks' is a pretty tame name for a town
