The BBC weather lady Kaddey Lee-Preston used a Kent map with 'rude' names on late one night about 10 years ago. She got reprimanded :-0 :-D |

Wish I'd taken more interest in the local names when I lived in East Kent - not too far from Ham Sandwich ;-) |

I know someone who used to live in London, in Friar's Crutch! That was the address on his stationery; I've looked at maps and can't find it. |
