Has to be done

Post by Ninjachica »

Just found this and it's made me cry laughing.

This has to be my next task... how many of these can I do on the bike :-D

Just had a good look - I've been through Bunny loads of times, as Mr NC's mum used to live near there.

On Saturday, in the way back from the Ponderosa, I filled up near Chemistry - I remember seeing the village name sign :-)

Will have to work on the others

I live about 8 miles further down the coast from Plwmp . It's just a place you drive through to get somewhere else . ;-)
It wasn't my fault , I was left unsupervised !

One obvious one they have missed off in the Scottish Islands is "TWATT", in the Orkney's. Used to work nearby from Kirkwall.
Work is for people that can't play golf.

I've just ridden through Pluck's Gutter. Funny how some names just make you smile. There was a nice looking pub, which might need a closer look if I go that way again. My usual favourite is Thannington Without. I'd love to know how that name came to be.

Fawkham isn't a million miles from you. We used to go that way to get out of Brands Hatch.
Went in the car once, daughter in the back, she suddenly said "Fawkham Hall" as we went through. She was about 14 at the time - still funny now.

Fawkham. I never thought about that before. You can be sure I'll never see it the same way again now I have that in my head :D
