I used to live a village away from Six Mile Bottom, and not too far away was Trumpington (which never sounded rude to me at all, but Chris Evans was laughing about it on the radio once). A bit of a drive away was a village called Ugly.

While driving through the Northamptonshire Village of Weedon, we saw a signpost to the Water Sports Centre.

Yes, really! We were still giggling about it the next day
