"Slough often gets misspelt as ShitHole"

God dammit you beat me to it.

Although I was going to say Slough is always spelt wrong.

It's not Slough it's shit hole.

You can also use this for the following places

High Wycombe

Feltham

Hounslow and many many more

Up in our neck of the woods, Slaithwaite is pronounced Slowit (ow as in pain, not slow as in tardy)

But you only get to say it like that if you're a local. And the natives get to decide when you've lived they're long enough to be considered local.

I swear Royston Vasey was based on that place.

I've always thought that Newquay is a lovely place but would be much improved if it was spelt Nookie.
