  10. Brown Willy is a classic and I've heard of it before (though sadly never been). Boysack is completely new to me. And I can also confirm I've never been to Upper Dicker!

  20. There's a place round the corner from my parents' house in the Midlands called Rood End which always struck me as being slightly chuckleworthy. I also seem to remember a an episode of Jackass where they visited a town called Mianus which seemed to warrant a good 10 minutes of smutty inuendo - "Hey there's a wrinkly old man in Mianus!" "Who put that big red firetruck in Mianus?", etc, etc.

  23. Two brilliantly funny places already - I've actually been to Cockermouth as a child but was too young and naive to fully appreciate what a great name it is! I have a friend who i used to study with who was from a town near Dildo, Newfoundland. That's just plain weird

  27. Near to where my parents live there's a pub called the Cock Inn. It provided me with plenty of childhood giggles and i still like to go back and visit every now and then for nostalgia's sake.
