England is full of mucky place names. The sort that gleefully fall foul of US-based profanity filters, and which are gleefully collected in certain mischievous websites.
(I'm surprised that particular website didn't mention Shitterton Farm in Dorset, though.)
Still, I was pleased to cycle past this road yesterday on a jaunt up the east coast south of Scarborough, just north of Flamborough Head.
Shitterton is in Dorset, or it was when I was at school nearby - in the Piddle valley, as it happens.
ReplyDeleteDoh - not Devon, then? I've corrected the blog before I get terrorists from the Dorset Independence Front planting anything to try and injure me. Such as wisteria.
ReplyDeleteI believe that there are some very dull folk in said Devonian, erm, Dorsetian place that are trying to get the signs changed to Shutterton.
