Where to go? Where to go?
With the arrival of our American cousins less than 36 hours away, Maurene and I puzzle over where we might take them to give them a flavour of the United Kingdom. Yesterday's Independent offered something that might make an interesting tour. The daily newspaper named the British villages with the rudest names. Yes, all of these are authentic and can be found on most Highway and Ordnance Survey maps. Besides Shitterton we have:
Cockington
Lickey End
Nob End
Thong
Ugley
Pratts Bottom
Lower Swell
Wetwang
Twatt
Balls Green
Penistone
Bitchfield
Tosside
Prickwillow
Crapstone
Bell End (am I missing something?)
Cockenmouth
Spital In The Street
Titlington
Upper Dicker
and Muff
I can see Mark posing by the town signs and taking photos home to show all of his friends and family.

Ha! I hope none of those streets intersect. Example: I live on the corner of Muff and Cockenmouth....
