About this title

Synopsis

Following Boxtree's hit book Crap Towns comes Rude Britain - 100 of the Rudest Place Names in Britain Britain has a history common to many islands: it is one of repeated invasion, occupation and assimilation. Each phase of this history has left its mark on our culture, architecture, language and place names.

About the Author

Rob Bailey spent his formative years in the village of Cumnor, Oxfordshire, where the family home rested peacefully upon the hill known as Tumbledown Dick. He lives in Surbiton with a small family of guitars. Ed Hurst, in common with Isaac Newton, was born in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. His blend of pompous, puerile verbosity has helped him to establish himself as a company director and management consultant. Rob and Ed are both well respected scatological-geographical-etymologists, with a specialism in UK names.
