There's a Kunting, too, IIRC. I'm sure standfree93 will back me up on this.

After a quick google map it shows up in Hong Kong.

Oddly, I found one in Gambia but I swear the one I've heard of is in Germany.

You're might be thinking of Switzerland?

We drove through here in 2005 so we had to stop for a photo. We'd come from the Nurburgring and were driving to St Moritz and then Stelvio

Marvellous.

Sadly, you know that the locals will insist on pronouncing it "Tworthers", or some such lame nonsense.

In the same way that one cannot visit fkit, in Thailand, but insist must go to "Pookay".

Ruddy spoilsports.

Thete's a "Dam Road" in Tickhill, everytime I drive past it i have to shout "Damn road!". simple things...
Also, in Retford there's a place called spital hill, which is incidentally, rough as fk.
Oh, and a mate has a pic of me next to the sign for the town of Crofty

On the other hand, if you see a ladyboy you like the look of, it will only cost you a few baht to pookay.

So Stiggy tells us.

My 'interesting' name is sadly not smutty!

Near where I were dragged up in Devon was a town called 'Ford & Fairy Cross' if you were heading South, but was 'Fairy & Ford Cross' when heading North. Had been that was for centuries. However the local council have now changed it to simply 'Fairy Cross' which is a bit of shame.
