Pratt's Bottom is one of the names on the front of the book, and also a street name plate saying Fanny Avenue!! Oh if I lived there I would want to move. (But then if I'd seen the name when I got the chance of buying or renting the house, I would have had to decline anyway, so that last comment was a bit daft)lol Think I should get to bed,my brain is already asleep!

LMAO what a funny thread....with Lemons being stalked by teenagers dressed as Old Gezzers lingering in odd named villages & streets !! Thanks PP for directing my attention to here LOL Much happiness Debi

Nothing wrong with Titsey Hill, Daniel! Though perhaps there should be two of them!!! Husband once got a postcard from a colleague on holiday, saying it reminded him of work, it was up north, Great Cockup. Bill Bryson also made up (but they sound good enough to be true) a couple of London alleys - Running Sore Lane and Sphincter Passage). nell

Father-in-law was born in Robin's Bottom, Nr. Iping in W. Sussex. Visited there about 8 years ago - now on map as Robins! Tiny hamlet of about 6 -8 dwellings. Husband was threatened with a charge of defacing HM papers as on a security check at Boscome Down he put down his father's birthplace! They rang his father and then got out an Ordnance Survey map and found it - but he is still miffed - he never received an apology!. Ann

I nearly died laughing once, when I saw Pea Down on a map of South West England. I wonder if Windy Arbour in Warwickshire is a bean-growing area? And I bet you have to be careful if you're writing to someone in Fulking in West Sussex! CB >|<

Ramsbottom in Lancashire. I was evacuated there in the War. (No pun intended).

These are brilliant folks, will copy them out and if I get the book I can add these pages to it. Keep 'em coming.
