Americans lost their minds over these UK place names and Brits queued up to say they didn’t know the half of it
Americans have been enjoying these peculiarly British place names highlighted on this map which went viral on Reddit.
‘I’m American but I think I could live in Nether Wallop,’ said vintagepop who shared it.
