There'a a place called Shitterton, near Bere Regis in Dorset, I kid you not. Couldn't be in any other county really, could it, oooh-arrrr! Not far away, in Stoborough, near Wareham, is a no-through-road called Melancholy Lane. And Upwey, near Weymouth reminds me of my favourite Star Trek character...

When I used to live in Hastings a few years back, I had drive to Brighton each morning and used to pass a sign indicating a place called 'Upper Dicker'. Made me laugh. If you also go from Harrogate to Skipton, you have to cross Blubberhouses Moor.
