Sally's pendulous ones?
So adr, what about the other 'tit', Brown Clee Hill??? Or are you assuming that just adds to the breast metaphor?

Unless I'm mistaken,apart from the obvious topographical features , the "tits" comes from Titterstone Clee Hill (map/photo).
But one wonders about the naming of a certain place near Woodbridge... At 332471 on my old 50 thou of the area was the splendidly named 'Gobblecock Hall' just south of the road across Sutton Common near World's End Plantation. Sadly it has disappeared from more recent versions of the map!

While we're on comedy place names, has anyone ever visited (intentionally or otherwise) the village of Muff? It's just inside the RoI north of Londonderry, and is on the coast, so it's entirely possible they have a diving club...

"Ere, look at 'er Brown Clees! " might also suggest one is regarding a young ladies knobbly leg joints. Or is that where 'they' are hanging down to....?!

Ah it is all so crude.
I prefer to have meandered around the Bosoms on West Falkland.
Well, maybe not preferred to be on west Falkland now I think about it.......

On the Shetland Isles Mainland, just off the A971 near Bixter there is a place (not enough people even to be called a Hamlet) by the name of Twatt. My wife took a photograph of me standing next to the road-sign. That was an error of judgement.
I remember 'K**t Electronics' which was on the road to Antioch (no sign of the holy handgrenade) from Incirlik
And I have the picture (this is turning into an FHM article!)

Well, if we are in to airfield names then I have made quite a few approaches to those two, fairly close, airstrips in the Middle East. Namely Firq and Saik.
Their names do them justice.

Before the Jebel Akhdar road was built, the only way to get the alfalfa needed as fodder by the beasts of burden at the top of the mountain was to fly it in robust fixed-wing a/c. Departure a/f was Firq, arrival a/f was Saiq; do the run 4 times and there was a "4 Firq Saiq" tie available to the lucky pilot.

On the subject of Scottish hills, the Paps of Jura are mentioned above but we have Pap singular in the hill the Pap of Glencoe. Viewed from the north (usually from outside the Glencoe Hotel with pint in hand on a summers eve) it has a wonderfully pleasing form
