Placenames

We have been laughing at some of the interesting names we've seen on maps and road signs in the UK, especially in the Cotswolds.

Some examples:

• Upper & Lower Slaughter
• Stow-in-the-Wold
• Clapton-on-the-Hill
• Limpely Stoke
• Cold Aston
• Shipton-under-Wychwood
• Little & Great Rollright
• Great Snoring 
• Old  Sodbury
• Mudford Sock
• Marsh Gibbon
• Bitchfield
• Compton Scorpion
• Nether Wasdale
• Cockermouth
• Newbiggin-on-Lune
• Penistone
• Moreton-in-Marsh

We've also seen lots of names that are clearly the originals for many Aussie placenames,  such as Perth, Cheltenham and Tamworth.
