	Not rude, but there is a small hamlet in Devon, near Tavistock on the road to Morwelham Quay called Chip Shop. On a ruder note, a quick Google search turned up two Twatts, in Orkney and Shetland, a Minge Lane in Upton-upon-Severn, Worcs., a Back Passage, in the City of London, and a Tickle Cock Bridge in W. Yorks.
