In Theme Hospital and it’s spiritual successor Two Point Hospital, the hospitals you run all have goofy sound names or anatomy/illness named puns like Frimpton-on-Sea, Largechester, Simpleton or Flottering, Tumble and Flemington. South Ribble just sounds like it would fit in with them and I’d be running a hospital there listening to radio ads for the fake snack Cheesy Gubbins.

These just sound like genuine place names in Buckinghamshire to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just normal place names. I live within driving distance of Mavis Enderby, Thompson's Bottom and Holton Cum Beckering so South Ribble sounds perfectly normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckinghamshire's a bit less small villagey and more outright posho, though - see: Chalfont St. Giles, Chalfont St. Peter, Latimer, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted May 31 Paid Members Share Posted May 31 Yeah in fairness I live close by such normal sounding places as Dragonville (no dragons there), Sexhow and Thornton-le-Beans so maybe the hospital names are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I often refer to my area by its full name of Chorlton-Cum-Hardy because it annoys the ponces who ponce up the place  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just zoomed in around Worcester and found: Upton Snodbury Throckmorton Sheriffs Lench Peopleton Littleworth  They all sound made up by an American sitcom to take the piss Edited May 31 by gmoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted May 31 Paid Members Share Posted May 31 It’s starting to look like the Outstanding Names thread now. I’m sure some of these were off-season signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 31 Paid Members Share Posted May 31 There's also the infamous Pratt's Bottom, which includes a division into Lower Pratt's Bottom and Upper Pratt's Bottom. Plus we have Westward Ho! in which the exclamation mark is part of the official spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathrey Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 We have so many funny names places where I live -, Lickey Hills, Twatling Road, Bumblehole Lane (locally referred to as Bumhole Lane) the list goes on. I can't wait till the kids can read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted May 31 Paid Members Share Posted May 31 (edited) We had 'Butt Hole Road' where I live but the fun police got involved and now it's called Archers Way. Edited May 31 by Nick James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
