The resemblance to an actual place-name at the end is what particularly does it for me.

Some aren't merely a resemblance; some are real. I tried this out a few times - since it's completely random - and one of the places was Chipping Sodbury. It not only exists, but I used to live about 20 miles from the place.

Did people ever refer to it as "Sodding Chipbury"?

One of the things I always loved about reading Wodehouse was the place names. Chufnell Regis, for example, is just plain fun to say, as is Totleigh-in-the-Wold.

Sodding Chipbury? I wouldn't be surprised.

I always like the name Tiverton. And I used to live in the dour-sounding village of 'Coalpit Heath'. It had coalpits, y'know.

Me too! I loved the sound of Totleigh-in-the-Wold. You could tell Wodehouse was having fun...

I completely believe it. :) I have swanned around the house more than once inventing or quoting convoluted British place names, the more syllables the better, involving shires and hams and burys and _____-on-the-_____. I wish we had that here.

I blame my childhood Adrian Mole obsession (and his attempt at novel-writing: Longing for Wolverhampton). :)

I am:
Countess-Palatine Laurie the Undulant of Porton Down

I don't know what a 'palatine' is, but I kind of like being undulant. So long as it's not undulant fever.

I thought you looked familiar(and by that, I mostly mean your screen name)! I've lurked on the goth gardening group on yahoo for years.

[dark-phoenix54.livejournal.com]

That's me all right!

Nothing like getting a good throcking in your hole now and then.

I could've definitely used this as a source for character names during NaNoWriMo. I'll have to remember it (if I ever finish writing that book...).

Throcking in the Hole?... That sounds like some odd euphemism. But, I'm sure our mannerly Lady would not do such a thing! ...Without telling us all the juicy details. ^_^

oooh, this meme has been popping up all over the place. What amuses me is the cheeky monkeys have pinched the seal of the Corporation of the City of London for their badge.
