FOR SALE: "Shakespeare My Butt!" Strange funny place names
« on: Thursday 09 September 04 23:43 BST (UK) »
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!!

Moderator Comment: We've discovered that this is the author - I'm sure it of interest to a number of you, and that you will rush out and buy it.  :)
