Silly Place Names
Give a Brit a silly name and he (0) is in seventh heaven. English literature provides the richest source of silly place names the world, from Jonathan Swift's Liliput and Brobdingnag to PG Wodehouse's Lower Briskett-in-the-Midden. But a complete list of extraordinarily silly places is by no all fiction and fantasy. What London's Ha-Ha Road, or for example Dogpoo Lane and Stinking Water Creek? Nobody wants to live there or even go there. So who are the people enviable job it is to christen these places? Who was the genius who thought of calling a road Shoot up Hill or There and Back Again Lane? Road names like Baker Street traditionally been used to tell us something about the inhabitants that live in those streets or their businesses. So what we to think of people who spend their lives on Catbrain Hill - a street name like that cannot possibly contribute to the greater glory of those who live there. But, instead of our streets sound cosy and pleasant, maybe we should call them Dracula Drive or Radioactive Alley. That could at least keep strangers from our homes. And perhaps prevent a burglary or two!
