Yea, used to sell Cockburn's port when I worked in a bar, amount of people who pronounced it the way it was spelt was quite funny

Pants Lane in Northampton always makes me chuckle (I know, I'm pathetic)

A friend of mine also lives in Cockurnhoe

I find this amusing every time I see it in Hampstead. Maybe it's just me.

I just had to write this on an envelope and couldn't believe it... imagine telling someone you lived here.

Nowt wrong with Fingringhoe, lovely little town

Another one actually in colchester is but isnt on that map is bank passage, with a certain letter having been replaced on numerous occasions.

Not really unfortunate, by a street near me is called 'Murray Walk', and the amount of times someone has tagged 'er' onto the end of it, it never gets old.

There is a town called Gaydon just off the m40 to birmingham.

Also In oxford a close Called Pusey Close

Wish I'd taken a pic cos I think it's gone now, but on a roundabout in colchester, there blatently wasn't room for "Fingringhoe" in the lane so it was abreviated to "F'ingho"

Small road near where one of my mates lives is called Cockmylane, not sure how it got its name but I wouldn't really want to tell people I lived there.

There's not that many houses down that road TBH, but there's Abberton Reservoir & an old peoples home on that road.

How about this one then I go past this road on my Monday round
