Two Buffaloes shot stone dead with one shot Springs just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Almost certainly a hoax. Every South African wants to believe there is such a place, but searches repeatedly fail to locate it. Sad but true.

I have been to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

Not a lot to see really

[Leman]

Not much in Llanfair P G either, other than the Marquis of Anglesey's column (Lord Uxbridge) although down on the Menai Strait is his home - Plas Newydd (NT) where you can see some relics from Waterloo, including his uniform, and the wooden leg he had fitted after Waterloo.

There's a village called Tiddlywink about 20 miles from where we live. Not rude, just very silly.

When I lived in Cornwall the next village down from us was Splatt.

I did read that, but interestingly enough, both the Dutch and the Afrikaander wikipages agree with this, while the English page fails to mention it.

I wonder if a worthy Boer has decided to make the myth into reality. There is a Hobbiton in eastern South Africa, after all.

Not sure about any rude sounding names in Scotland, but we have some weird oned. Like Milngavie (pronounced "Mull-Guy"), Auchtermuchty and Auchinshugle. I also work near Wemyss Bay, pronounced "Weems Bay", and the recorded announcement on the train did say "We are now approaching Wem-is Bay". If they can't get it right on the daily train, what hope have we?

Hi

I used drive past shitbottle all the time.

Even after the council restored the sign back to shilbottle we still call it shitbottle.

By the way its on the right on the A1 just below Alnwick Northumberland.

Thank god they didn't call it anything really sill. Like Bang Cock.

How could you forget Ecclefechan?

I've been there. Once you've been there it's easily forgotten.

Seriously???

How about Dull (Twinned with Boring, Oregon ... no really!) Brokenwind, Cock Bridge, Cockburnspath, Butt of Lewis, the Paps of Jura (perhaps they should be twinned with the Grand Tetons in the US), Fannyfield or either of the places called Backside (Aberdeenshire or Banffshire)?

You've just got a dirty mind. They're perfectly respectable.

For example Cockburnpath is on the route used to import sherry.
The Paps of Jura are named after a pair of respected grandfathers.
In Aberdeenshire they're very fussy about their bacon. Some like streaky. Some like unsmoked. Streets were divided by their preference. Hence "Backside" is near "Rindless".

And the best bit about the place is Junction 19.......

I don't believe you.....

When I lived in Cornwall the next village down from us was Splatt.

There's a district of Cardiff called Splott.  I believe my Dad grew up there

Whilst leaving Helsinki recently I noticed that the train to the airport stopped at Dickursby...
