An excuse to share some funny town names

This weekend we are performing Twelfth Night in the tiny village of Otterton, which is just outside of Budleigh Salterton (or past Newton Poppleford if you're driving in from Exeter).  It's a quaint little place, consisting of a pub, a church, and some houses.  Also a mill.  The village has no mobile phone signal, no shops, and no internet.

My question: if it doesn't have the internet, how/why does it have a website?

  1. So funny! Maybe they have a website in the hope that someone will see the site and decided to sponsor internet coming to Otterton?

  2. If I ever have a dog, I will name him Poppleford.

  3. My favorite town name is Towcester, which you have to know is pronounced "toaster." It has an important horse racing track, but otherwise is just a small town between Oxford and North Hampton.
