I go through a hamlet on the way to work every day and it's called.......

Worlds End. And to look at the place you would certainly think so too!!

[M35A2]

The ones that make me laugh are what Matt mentioned.

Towcester and Bicester.

Pronounced Toaster and Bister. But I've heard people say Tow-ses-ter and Bi-ses-ter. Makes me laugh every time.


But when it comes to our Welsh neighbours, forget it. There is a place we deliver to called Fforest Fach near Swansea. Well you can imagine what we call it....

And we do a collection at a factory called Katsouris in Park Royal. Well that is called Cat-Sore-Ar*e.....

That's a real place?! I got lost there on the way home after a late night return journey from Cornwall. It was about 3am, hammering down with rain. The first road sign I came across said 'World's End', I just thought it was an omen that I'd driven into oblivion...
