Does it make me childish that I always snigger to myself when opening post from one of our contractors, whose company is called Cumloaden?

I also just misread "Petersburn" as "Petersbum".

Sadly for us, if not for them, the sheep-shearing centre in Cumbria that used to distribute leaflets around the Lake District enticing people to visit (“Come in and see us! The best cup of tea on the M6!”, or whatever motorway it was, and it honestly included the line, “You don’t even have to go and see the sheep!”) has changed its name in recent years from the frankly amazing CumWest. My friend unfortunately lost the leaflet in question so these days no one believes us, but I saw this with my own eyes.

And if it’s the indefensibly puerile you’re after, there’s always this.

I believe you! Mostly because I want to believe you, mind. I imagine Cumbria must be filled with similarly unfortunate abbreviations and neologisms.
