Where are you from?

[kirk280980]

A few from the UK...

In the county of Devon, we have Westward Ho! - aside from the obvious, it's also the only town in the UK to have an exclamation mark in its name.

In Yorkshire we have Penistone, and also Wetwang.

And in Lincolnshire, there's a town that goes by the rather charming name of Bitchford. At first I thought this one was a joke, but after checking the list of localities on my database at work, sure enough it really does exist.

other unusual names in SC

how about Govan and Olar? You can drive through these (but don't blink!) if you take the back way to Statesboro, GA
