Texas checking in… We don’t have as good of names like that but we have cities like Paris, Athens, and Odessa, TX. I think there are maybe 20 to 25 international city names that would make a fascinating road trip and probably be over 1K miles/1600 Km.
Time for a road trip

you can claim you traveled to all those cities and hope people don’t have a follow-up question

The best part about Shitterton is that the name comes from “sewer town.” Not another language, no alternate meaning, it is just it sounds in modern English.

Still avoids Scunthorpe. There is no good reason to visit Scunthorpe.

I think that’s the Tom Scott video where I learned about Penistone

I’ve only learned the name “Scunthorpe” recently because I was reading up on a band I really like from there. I remember noting that it was about the ugliest name for a town I could think of that doesn’t actually contain any recognizable words… but I would assume it’s a perfectly lovely place regardless of that

I’ve always liked that one. On a scale of fanny to gash, how impolite is it considered over there?

Nothing beats, Fucking, Austria:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugging,_Upper_Austria
"Fugging (German: [ˈfʊkɪŋ] ⓘ), spelled Fucking until 2021, is an Austrian village (…)
Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, said that the area had lakes, forests, and vistas worth visiting, but there was an “obsession with Fucking”, and she had to explain to a British tourist “that there were no Fucking postcards”.

I refuse to spell it any other way than Fucking.

I am equally impressed that the journey is over 1k miles, considering the entire island is about 600 miles top to bottom. An extra 400 miles of no straight roads.

I heard the phrase, “as the bird flies” recently in reference to the 600 miles type of measurement and thought that was neat

Lots of side trips available to places such as Upper and Lower Dicker (East Sussex), Scratchy Bottom (Dorset) and Minge Lane (Worcestershire).

If you want a shorter trip you can go from Blue Ball to Paradise. The road goes through Intercourse.

Here in Ohio you can go from Dayton to Marion in four hours but it’s a commitment
