[childish snort]

Imagine living in Penistone

[bigTillyMint]

I've never thought about it like that as it's pronounced Penny-ston!

[Bunbaker]

Oy!

It is pronounced Pennyston

[gordyslovesheep]

my mate just came back from a holiday in Peniscola - oh how we laughed

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

Sorry

Saw it in a book and been chuckling ever since.

I live near penistone, and the Snigger factor had never crossed my mind until an out of town boyfriend brought it up.

If you are local it is penny stun.

No peeeenis involved. ;)

[Bunbaker]

Blimey. Don't you lot live sheltered lives. Even before living in South Yorkshire I have always know how it was pronounced, so felt no need to snigger.

What about Pratt's Bottom?

[INeedThatForkOff]

Fnar!

Penny-ston is just as amusing as I thought penis was pronounced pennis until I was about 10.

[Bunbaker]

shrimp so do I.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

Is it nice? I'd like to go. Just so I can send a postcard .

[ShellyBoobs]

I drive past Penistone a few times a week.

I'm another who never thought of it being funny as it's not pronounced 'penis tone'.

[shrimponastick]

It's only a village, I don't know if they have postcards... But you never know?8

[bulletwithbutterflywings]

I used to live near Fingringhoe

[Bunbaker]

I like it. It's a friendly little market town that has a brilliant agricultural show every September.

[ExitPursuedByABear]

You are very childish.

[ShellyBoobs]

Penistone is ok, Taggie.

There's not a lot there but it has a lovely little old cinema which has intervals in the films and sells alcohol.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

Oh bullet. Another great name.

I'm thinking I could do a tour of amusingly named places.

[SoldAtAuction]

In Newfoundland we have Pothead, Dildo, Conception Bay, Nick's Nose Bay, Father Duffy's Well, Come By Chance and Blow Me Down.

[Kleptronic]

I never gave Clitheroe a thought until a southerner I knew noticed and almost choked to death on her own mirth.

My rugby playing 21 yo DS still giggles when he drives past Cockpole Green
