Don't think you can beat Bell End in warwickshire, maybe it's "twinned" with Pussy!

you have to go a long way to beat St Ives in Cornwall. We have Court Cocking, Love Lane, Virgin Street, Salubrious Place and Puddingbag Lane and a few
miles up the A30, Brown Willy is the highest point in Cornwall

The population of Cornwall is as mad as a bucket of frogs. Not only do we have the St Ives stuff, but how about.......the "London Apprentice",a cad
and a "Knave-go-by" met "Penny-come-quick" at "Playing Place" to play with her "Mousehole". He would have seen "Redruth" but she was having
her period. "Paul" went swimming at "Pool". All's well in "Come-to-good". Do you get my "Drift"?

There's a place near yeovil called Boozers Pit, I think from memory it's near Merriot, which in that case, would actually put it nearer Crewkerne
than Yeovil.
There's another place out near Mulcheney, called Long Load. Must have been named the morning after a night on the pi5s and curry.
There's also a place in Hampshire called Long Ley, and another called Badgers Bottom.
Cheers, Rorty.

I nearly drove off the road once, while travelling in Germany... went through the village of Wank.
I wonder what the residents are called...
David
(Yes, I know it's probably pronounced "Vank" - made me and my missus grin, though)

*Anybody know a cheap hit man?
Knowing you lot, you will probably weld one up from a couple of coat hangers and a dress shop dummy, and claim it just as good as the real thing.
Nothing wrong with the CateringVan village, it was even on TV last year.
Where else could you watch the Canadian GP on a huge screen ? Or have a live band on Friday night ? Or a massive fireworks display ?
It is hugely funny, turning up at Camping Bleu, where a couple of fiesta boys have got a ghetto blaster bangin' out some tunes ... and unloading a PA
system that makes Ozzy Osbourne's look like a Sony Walkman
So, ChrisG, why pay someone to do it for you, when you could do it yourself ... or are you scared ?

* your one ??* ?
Is that "your one" ? i.e. my TV
Or "You are one" i.e. I am a TV ?
I did get some funny looks wandering around Tesco's in my Sparco "Pixie Boots" today
Not quite sure what I am having delusions about ?
