To bad we didn't ape some of the more fun British town names like Bitchfield,Netherthong, Cocks, Shitterton, Scratch Arse Ware, Wetwang or Fingeringhoe.

(look em up I'm not making those up.

Not trying to be pedantic here but Scratch Arse Ware is not a town or village, it’s the name of a hiking trail and it’s Fingrininghoe.

But there other places over here called Penistone. There’s a name of a road called Fanny Hands Road. Fanny doesn’t mean ass in the UK, it means the name of a female body part.

I went to Sandy Balls once. There is also a place in the far north of Scotland called Twatt. Which is kinda ironic because I am from the south coast of England. And what’s the similarity between my hometown and my sex life throughout most of my life until my mid 20s (apart from a few glorious years around 20/21)? Despite my best efforts, I was always a long way from Twatt. Badom ting.
