Well toads do suck. I don't see the problem. Frogs > toads.

Funny you mention that because all the tourist memorabilia in town shows pictures of frogs, not toads. They even have a yearly toad race for the kids and most of them bring frogs to it.

Are those all real??

I've always found the town of Gaydon to be rather humorously named.

I read an article about a town called "F*cking" in Australia. Apparently the town signs are CONSTANTLY being pilfered.

There seems to be a town called Middlefart in Denmark. There is a place called Penistone in the UK... ouch...

Barton-in-the-Beans is the butt of a lot of jokes around here (literally often...)

Then again, there are only 4 or 5 houses in it, and they aree all a bit... strange...

Up in cumbria (I think) there are two places near each other Giggleswick and Wigglesworth. Which are brilliant names.
There is also a place called Ugely.

Though perhaps not unfortunate, Worlds End (there are a couple) always sound a rather bad place to be.

There was an article on the beeb a little while ago about the plight of the residents of a "Butt Hole Lane" and their quest to rename it as people didn't believe that it was a real name. I believe it is now call the Archers Lane or some such dull name

There are also extremely rude place names. Using a certain word for a certain part of a ladies anatomy.....and this comes from the word which is now top of the pantheon of swearing being derived from the correct and polite Anglo-Saxon name for the lady bits.

In my opinion Intercourse, PA is worse than Toad Suck, AR. Not that there is anything wrong with intercourse, its just Intercourse that sounds funny of course.

I thought it was spelt with a ph?

It's not that hard, it's always found eventually...Normally near the base of the mound before descending into the depths of the lower valley...

It is and that is how I spelt it.

And the road really is near Watchet :)
