How about S*** Creek,a wide-open space just off Floyd Road.

I live near Southpark, Reigate surrey! The local primary once wanted to change the name of the school because of the TV series of the same name! They failed too do so!

Let's hope for the kids sake they take English lessons

Perhaps you could do with such a lesson?

This local report is, well, odd. donegaldaily.com/2017/08/23/driver-has-lucky-escape-after-floods-eat-huge-hole-in-roadway/

Makes it sounds as if a large part of Muff got washed away rather than the road. Love the use of literally too! Not sure whether the journo was pissed, or literally stupid.
