I have tickets booked for the opening night and can't wait!

Re: Amusing Place Names.
Not a place-name per se, but the locals in Castleford in West Yorkshire had a battle with the Local Council who wanted to rename "Tickle Cock bridge" as "Tittle Cott Bridge". The locals won - the name originates from its use by courting couples! Story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/...
