After a small discussion with [livejournal.com profile] shinyopals on the adorableness of names of towns in the UK, I have a poll.

[Poll #1413910]

(Oh, and related to the subject line, NEW FUTURAMA IS COMING!!!)

A quick Google maps search in my vague area finds other towns named Burpham, West Wittering, Gundleton, Nether Wallop, Middle Wallop, Over Wallop, Goatacre, Grittenham, Upper Upham, Bagendon, Fossil Bridge, Stow-on-the-Wold and Coombe Dingle.

BERWICK UPON TWEED IS PRETTY DAMN NORMAL.

You realize you're only making my point, right? Next you're going to tell me that there's an actual Toad Hall somewhere. :D

I'm making my point that B-u-T is a perfectly normal name! ;-)

And there are a whole bunch of Toad Halls in both the UK and the US. If you search "Tardis" there are a bunch of places named that as well, including the Queen Tardis Inn, in Devon.

Coombe Dingle? Seriously? Oh the places I could go with that!!

I live very close to Coombe Dingle - not strange at all. :)

Upper Upham? Seriously?! All those make my hometown just sound boring!
