[@TheSaintsray]

On the A322 between Brookwood and Worplesdon - on the left hand side if you're heading towards Guildford - there are a couple of house called Mingary and Little Mingary. By the way the word 'minge' is Romany for the female genitalia, and that's how it made its' way into the English Language. The Romany word for male geniitalia? KORI. (That's pronounced 'Cory'). So in the 21st Century, while fewer and fewer boys are being called Dick, Willie and John Thomas, there has been a significant growth in 'Cory's everywhere. Great video again....

[@norfolknchance.500]

Cheers mush! ...... Oops more Anglo Romani!

[@peterlowe6064]

I have often wondered where minge comes from

[@charliegould5865]

There’s loads of places with amusing names. Near where I live is a hamlet near Petworth in West Sussex called Balls Cross, it’s a garage, a pub and a few houses. Years ago I had a friend that lived there, he had broken his elbow in an accident and I gave him a lift to a follow up appointment at the hospital in Chichester. When he checked in at reception the nurse asked his name and address but misheard, so asked “Bells Cross” my friend replied “no balls as in bo**ocks” I fell about laughing and the nurse got a major blush on! Of course on the way to Chichester we could have gone the long way round and gone through Cocking!

[@robterry1663]

There’s also a road in Rowley Regis called Bell End, it leads onto Mincing Lane (around a mile from M5 J2) and Twatling Road near Bromsgrove, leads onto Mearse Lane!

[@reddeviluk]

The best looking Minge and Bell End I've seen on my screen for at LEAST a day. Thanks to Jon and the rest of the Team. Your work is always appreciated and usually a bit of a highlight in my otherwise crappy days. Thanks and Happy New Year to you all.

There's also a Bell End between Birmingham and Dudley. When travelling by bus the automatic voice that announces the the stops says 'Next stop, Bell End'. It's a young ladies voice.' In Shropshire there's also a place called Knockin. I've seen the signs for it many times. I've never been but often wondered if there is a shop there.

[@DAVID-bv2gv]

Yes there is a shop there called The Knockin Shop ( not sure if it’s still open though ) 🇬🇧

[@AndyHullMcPenguin]

If you head north, and over the Caledonian border, you can enjoy such treats as Twatt, Brokenwind, Butts Wynd, Cock Bridge, and just for completeness, arguably the shortest place name in the British Isles, Ae, and currently as I speak you can also enjoy the delights of sitting in a huge tailback in the snow on the A9... a perfect trip for this channel I would think. Oh.. and Dull. There's always a great day out to be had, heading away from Dull.

Willey and Piddle carry over well to us across the Pond. Bell End was a complete stretch and Minge is more of a very scarce term, but with the bush trimming, was determinable. Surprises me as I would figure our mutual joy of gutter terms would carry everything over. Thanks for the episode. Very humerous.

I think here in the U.S. piddle is largely reserved for dogs. Dogs piddle and piddle about.

Love it Jon, thanks! I remember years ago my parents were on holiday and sent me a postcard from Wyre Piddle - I assume that's near North Piddle, so the area is presumably "The Piddles". Also, I think the motorway signs should be changed to MMMM69, don't you?
