Just thought of three more; I also go fishing and have fished at New York and near California, both in the Witham valley in Lincolnshire. Also been fishing in Jerusalem; a village near Lincoln. Get a few reactions when I tell people who don't know where they are.

I'm sorry! Surely Scratchy Bottom was named by Terry Pratchett!

We also have:
"Brent Pelham" the 1960's actor.
"Stocking Pelham"
"Cold Christmas"
"Good Easter"
Three I like in Yorkshire are:
"Middlemoor" which is exactly as it says on the tin.
"Glasshouses"
and last but by no means least
"Blubberhouses"
Again most of these are thanks to the Vikings as they got up the Yorkshire Dales. I particularly like Wharfedale names - Kettlewell, Starbotton and Yokenthwaite - all with pubs that specialise in single malts as well.The law will hang the man or woman

My favourite street name in Hull is Land of Green Ginger - also home to some fine hostelries within which the roots of the Civil War were nurtured.
