We have some awful names of towns and cities hartlepool, scunthorpe(who put the unt in it?) and Grimsby can they be updated to something warmer or do the residents like them? Any other names you love to hate?

Theres Penistone in South Yorkshire!

Grimethorpe as well.



Always wondered why Dover was not called Dunder after the tunnel opened



Often wonder when Bradford will be renamed Bradistan!

Karaoglanoglu was named after one of the generals in the 1974 peace operation, I think.

I am incorrect in that he was a colonel not a general, and one of the first soldiers to be killed in the peace operation.

That's got to be one of the most stupidest names for a town I've ever heard.

Gooligan,

Went to school in Hull, - Marist College - and they used to ship a load of Catholic Goolies in every day.

I sat next to Bunny (Bernard) Toolan, who was a Goolie.

How unlucky can you get?
