The villages I'd like to visit are St Mary Mead, Much-Binding-In-The-Marsh, and Ambridge.

I know, but get used to people saying England when they mean GB or UK so the penny didn't drop

That's definitely a mistake you can't make up here. Even saying "Britain" or "British" elicits contempt from some people. The Yes voters aren't giving up.

Ah well, first you die and go to heaven. Problem with Ambridge, all the interesting people died decades ago.

Do your homework next time Sparkles, errors like that are unforgivable

Hello everyone
I clicked on the link for the list of villages and you were not kidding.
There are plenty to research.
Anyway, it should be fun.
Be back soon with some names

I must confess that some of those English place-names make the eyes water.

Of course the French have similar embarrassing place names, which may be of particular interest to one person on the forum who I know is currently making the move back to UK.
@Bigglesworth,
The following may bring back a few French memories:-

You may have seen it before, but check out the 'Montcuq' video - the translation from this place-name being 'MyArse.'
Since it's tv broadcast a number of years back, the video has since become a classic in France. The dialogue and play upon words for those who can follow it is brilliant!

TP I dont know where you got my return from - no such plans.
On est content dans La Charente.

But I thought the French for derriere was "cul"?

Whoops, sorry about that Biggles. My wires obviously crossed.

With the village Montcuq, both the t and the q are silent.
Similarly with the word 'cul', the 'l' is silent. (Unlike Cul-de-sac) where the 'l' is softly pronounced.

Vive la Charente!

I do hope you did not think I was taking the "p".

It was silent, as in bath.

Great list

I know so many that should live on Nobs End.

Haven't been here long so am no expert but, for what it's worth, I'd give every village in the county of Midsomer a miss.

Speaking of strange place names....

I was on a coach heading for Minehead on a dark and stormy night when I spied a road sign that pointed to 'Catbrain Hill'. I have nightmares to this day! Could it be as scary as it sounds?
