Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilioogofgoch

Roughly translated this means:

"We, the locals, needed a tourist attraction badly and having a really long name for our town fitted the bill nicely and it gives us a laugh everytime someone English tries to pronounce it and the best job was done by Jane Fonda in Barbarella phwoarrr"

Those travelling to Bookatrack's Anglesey days will have passed through...

Can't say that Ham or Sandwich seem to be particularly sensible names for places.. oddly enough, there's a place called Palestine in Surrey.. !?

Incorrigible LOL!

I used to live near Titty Hill in Hampshire.

Then there is Penistone near Sheffield. I think Cockermouth could be rude after a few pints.
