We all know about the bizarre place names in the UK. Wetwang, Pity Me, No Place, Blubberhouses....I could go on...so I will...  Booze, Twatt, Pratt's Bottom etc
Well one guy has made a journey around them and recorded it in his hilarious book Shakespeare My Butt!. Well, actually that guy is me, and I'm the author
There is lots of other stuff in there, including how sayings developed, how the place names developed, and too much more to mention.
You can actually see some extracts on www.marsupialelvis.com
Anyway, thought I'd share that gem with you...
Anyway...enjoy! ...and I bet you lot come up with some stuff not in the book!!
