"Bognor Regis" lol!


That's a funny name. Did you just make it up.

No Brendan, it is the quintessential funny English town name - used to much hilarity.

And there are others - Lower Piddle and Upper Piddle, or a personal favourite (it was the village next door when I was a boy) - Ugley, so we had the Ugley Women's Institute, Ugley Boy Scouts, Ugley Church etc etc.


This is almost worth a thread of its own - strange place names

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
    • An interesting article from Journalist Jim Waterson about how much councils make from festivals....it starts with an article about 5g but scroll down for the festivals article    https://www.londoncentric.media/p/real-5g-conspiracy-how-londoners-lied-over-their-phone-signal
    • Could you give the news source so that I can see whether it is reliable (like BBC) or nuts ( like Reform conspiracy insights)?
