    I really don't understand how or why they left Shitterton off the list: It became somewhat famous (or maybe infamous) because the sign denoting entry to it kept getting stolen, a problem the local council eventually solved by having the sign replaced by a huge chunk of rock with the name chiseled into it, weighing several tons on its own and mounted in a concrete foundation. It hasn't been stolen since - not much of a surprise since you would need a combination of excavator, crane and flatbed truck to even have a sporting chance of doing so.
    As a side-note, another one they really should have included is the village of "Wilsford cum lake" - and yes, that really is how it is spelled on the sign.

    Pratt's Bottom is a village in Greater London, England, within the London Borough of Bromley and, prior to 1965, within the historic county of Kent. It is south of its parent parish of Orpington, lies about 100 metres above sea level.
    The name Kent is believed to be of Celtic origin.
    Following the withdrawal of the Romans, large numbers of Germanic speakers from mainland Europe settled in Kent, bringing their language, which came to be Old English.

    What about Intercourse, Pennsylvania? A woman I know used to be the Wankie correspondent of the Bulawayo Chronicle. Yes, we do have great fun in Northern Ireland! Muff is actually in the Republic of Ireland, but the nearby NI village of Eglinton also used to be called Muff, so you got double Muff action inside a few miles. Other NI fun place names include Craigadick and Ballix - as in "say that again and I'll knock yer ballix in".

    The easiest way to tell if it is a Spitfire is the wing shape, Spitfire wings were elliptical and some models had clipped wing tips, the Hurricane gad a more conventional straighter wing shape. The front pkane in the image is a Spitfire, the rear one a Hurricane.

    Many years ago when I was a firefighter, we got called out to an address in a neighbouring station's area. The turnout instruction was to "a bush on fire on Fanny Bush Lane"
    Thinking it was a wind up I asked control to confirm the address, we could hear them all laughing in the background over the radio.
    Turned out it was a real address. I later found out that the local council eventually changed the name of the road because people kept stealing the street signs (Google will confirm this) 🤣

    Several names often get left out of lists like this, probably because they would be censored on video. Perhaps the most explicit is Gropec*nt Lane. This isn't a corruption. It means just what it says. It was formerly part of a red light district. I have family in Muff. Membership of the diving club includes a free T-shirt bearing its name. It has members from all over the world, most of whom have never been to the town or even set foot in Ireland. It claims to be the largest diving club on the planet.

    Muff, has a muff liqueur company as well. The Muff diving club was set up as a bet/joke in a pub but it is in fact a real diving club. Their are no troubles there, don't know that that narrator was talking about 😂 it's a tiny tiny 1 street village right on the border, 5 min from my house. The sign welcome to muff keeps being stolen, and the drive slow sign... People take pics with the r in drive covered. But it has a 24 hour ice cream shop, so if you like eating out.....
