minus-square@MrJameGumblinkEnglish3•7 months agoFrom the Wikipedia article for Shitterton: “The stream which passes near the village flows into the River Piddle (also called River Trent). Piddle is another name for urine. Shitterton is located very close to a village known as Piddletown until recently, when it was renamed Puddletown.”
