The funniest name places in Great Britain

To find some of these ridiculous names, you need a good knowledge of British English, some of these terms are not used in the US, or have different meanings.

For example, Great Cockup would not make many people laugh in North America, but is funny for those who speak British English. Many of these names are ridiculous if you know a little bit of current English.
