Places with unappealing names

[Dayvo]

I’ve never liked the sound of Penge.
Just sounds odd.

Vange isn't any better.

 

[Drago]

To my ear Bletchley always sounds like someone on their knees puking.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Nasty

 

[colly]

There's Swillington just outside Leeds,
and Grimethorpe near Barnsley.

Edit: Not forgetting Twatt in the Shetlands.

But things could be much, much worse:

 

[NorthernDave]

I've ridden through Wetwang and Warthill today.

And there's Slack Bottom near Hebden Bridge.

 

[subaqua]

Yaxley Yoxall . All sound awful

 

[raleighnut]

Vange isn't any better.

Neither is Tonge.

 

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

There's an Ugley near Bishop's Stortford.

 

[Brains]

The local Estate Agents have renamed Millwall to 'Mudchute' which I'm not sure is any better.
However I fully understand people do not want to say they live in Millwall as you know "Nobody Likes us, and we dont care!"

 

[Brains]

How about

Number 13
Harbinger (of Doom) Street
Millwall
Isle of Dogs

as the ultimate depressing address - yes it really exists !

 

[screenman]

Scunthorpe

 

[classic33]

I've ridden through Wetwang and Warthill today.

And there's Slack Bottom near Hebden Bridge.

Not forgetting Slack Top.

It could mean anything, but there's no way you'd be able to say it.

It sure beats Kirkjubæjarklaustur.

Penistone

Intercourse, in Amish country Pennsylvania

It's ace giving Penistone as your address over the phone.

The Tour de Yorkshire goes up Thurgoland Bank but no one mentions the corner below it is called Cheese Bottom.

 

[Levo-Lon]

To my ear Bletchley always sounds like someone on their knees puking.
