Nothing really. There are a lot more weird sounding places in Northumberland, the place where I grew up. Maybe I’ll compile a list. Well here’s a start:

Wideopen

Pity Me (over the water)

Bloody Bush Edge

Ulgham (pronounced Uffum)

Cambois (pronounced Cammas)

Newcastle Upon Tyne (pronounced The Toon)

Alnwick (pronounced Anick)
