Comes from the same root as puddle.
By the way, I can't seem to get into that Devon Life link.......I get an error notice saying "something wrong........page reloaded" and it just keeps reloading but doesn't fully reload.

I do sometimes get that error notice come up, but the page reloads straight away. This is the first time it's just been on a loop!
I'll try again later.

Try copying and pasting the link into your browser rather than just clicking on the link, that may work. Failing that quit your browser and then relaunch it. Something's got into a bit of a twist by the sound of it. Hope you eventually sort it out.
I tried all those suggestions, including turning it off and on again, and clearing the cache etc.
It was also happening on another computer in my house, despite clearing that cache,etc., too.
But it still kept looping as my previous post, so in the end I gave up.
God knows what that was about, but not to worry; I expect I'll live!

Inner Ting Tong, Budleigh salterton
Drunkards' Hill, Aveton Gifford
The street with no name, Teignmouth
Slaparse Lane, Broadclyst

Re: Devon's funniest street and place names
Thanks Longdogs, I was hoping Pyxell would have been able to access the website via the link but that’s a good idea to give the names separately. I have finished them off for you, trust that's OK. Coincidence that the second one is Longdogs Lane, Ottery St Mary! So your have your own special lane named after you, very unique!
Cocktree Throat near Taw Green
Longdogs Lane, Ottery St Mary
Lickham Bottom near Hemlock
Beer
Love Lane, Marldon
Cranston
Drunken Bridge Hill, Plympton
Bastard’s Lane, Great Torrington
Brithem Bottom
Admiral’s Hard, Plymouth
Goblins Lane, Cullompton
Nomansland
Daddyhole Road, Torquay
Ham, Plymouth
