Default Stupid Place Names
Shamelessly stolen from the spotted thread...

...there's a place in Kent called 'Prattsbottom'

Any other ridiculously named towns/villages in the UK?

Loads and loads.

There's a place in Orkney called Twat.
I know this because I once dealt with a company there called Twat Potatoes.

Which sounds like some bizare STI.
