Carved into stone; how Shitterton's residents stopped their village sign being pinched. Again. In this episode of “The Localist – Dorset” Ollie Peart finds out the origins of some accidentally naughty-sounding place names across the country. As part of his journey, he brings together people who love their rude location and wouldn’t live anywhere else. Rob Bailey is the co-author of “Rude Britain: The 100 Rudest Place Names in Britain” and has researched the scandalous, the obscene and the just plain ripe varieties in his search for the roots of rude place names. He reveals what inspired his quest. As you might expect, this podcast contains rude-sounding place names and involves swear words, so you might not want to listen in public spaces or where children might hear it. Hosted and produced by Ollie Peart and Ian Ramsdale. Executive Producer Kathryn Morrison
