Place names around the world often sound a bit odd to anyone not a local, and many have causal associations long since forgotten. A simple mind game of free associations with place names on first exposure can often produce a few chuckles. "Banbury" brought to mind a picture of a wee village with all their dearly departeds just laying about the place because burying was banned. Okay, that one's a bit obvious. "Bedworth" made me wonder about the spelling. Was there a terminal "y" accidently dropped? Now that could be a hillarious road to travel. :>)
