A Brief History of English Place Names
Adult. Very Adult.
In 2022 - 2023, As fodder for her forthcoming book “Everywhere I Never Wanted To Go”, PI began a grand tour of England: commencing at Shitterton and finishing at Weedon.
If the village had a “cock” in it, she probably went there too. Who admits they are from Crazies Hill, Horspath, Crackpot, Bitchfield, Penistone, Wetwang or Sexhow?
What is a mondegreen and how did repeated invasions corrupt our homes into the hamlets of howl today?
How did so many places survive the Victorian propensity for Bowdlerisation?
In this hilarious presentation, PI makes full use of her B Grade History GCSE to impart her wit and wisdom. Warning: Just don’t call her a Bell End - because she’s got bad news for you there too.
