Ooo-er, Missus
From the Grauniad’s Diary section:
We did say, did we not, that we would not be printing any more rude town names? So why keep sending them? It’s not as if we were about to tell the world about Intercourse (Pennsylvania), Gobblecock Hall (Suffolk), Pussy (France), Shitterton (Devon), Middelfart (Denmark), Wankheim (Baden-W?rttemberg), Awillykiss (Niger), Windpassing (Austria), Arsoli (Italy), Dildo (Newfoundland), Twatt (the Orkneys), Buggeru (Sardinia), Brasparts (Brittany), Wide Open Dykes (Cumbria), Mianus (Connecticut), Puke (Albania), Pratt’s Bottom (Kent), Big Bone or indeed Beaverlick (both Kentucky). Nor are we tempted to alert you, courtesy of reader Ian Simpson, to the existence of a road junction outside the village of Essendon in Hertfordshire where, it seems, Cucumber Lane meets Cum Cum Hill. And that, we’re afraid, is that.
