There's a lolworth near me.

EDIT: Wankbahn gives me images of rich bastard germans driving down the motorway at impossible speeds in their Mercedes' talking into the phone with one hand and wanking with the other.

How they shift gears, I don't know.

Automatic car obviously.

I'm pretty sure theres a town called Pant somewhere in Wales. Can't remember whereabouts.

I'm not sure why but seeing Bald Knob on a map of South-East Queensland made me laugh hysterically. If only I'd had the time to visit :(

For me, the map of Doncaster always provides amusement.

Lots of weird place names over there.

A place in Tennessee stole my surname - Johnson City.

On closer inspection, Johnson City is home to Knob Creek Mill.

I'll live there when I'm Mayor.

Indeed there is a place called pant, but it's near Oswestry, Shropshire close to the Welsh Border.

The word means "hollow" in Welsh which is why it ends up in lots of place names.

And due to the way Welsh words are often done (with a Y in the middle), you'll find lots of pant-y (something) too EG Pant-y-bas

Funnily enough, Tennessee also stole my surname for Nashville.

I was going to say same here BUT it's the same road you've linked to and it looks like about a quarter of a mile - if that - from my house. I go past there every day, still makes me laugh :D
