Penny,

What a great list. If I didn't know better I would have said that you made them up.

I remember once in the Barking Tech. Rag Magazine (yes Barking IS also a real place) They made up a version of "The Rock Island Line" called "The Tilbury Line". It went ... Dagenham, Rainham, Purfleet, Grays, The Good Lord's coming gonna see me again.....

And you all remember that "Tilbury Docks" is Rhyming slang for socks.

Back on this side of the pond there's a place in Colorado called "Telluride" which according to local folk lore is derived from the expression "To hell you ride".
and in Pennsylvania there is a "Peach Bottom" which became the nickname of one of our gang who, while drunk, foolishly challenged someone to "Bite my ass"

Bert.
