Travel In Your Pocket

Ep 4 - World’s rudest, funniest place names & we drink our Top 5 global cocktails (and get quite drunk!)

Listen on

Episode notes

Listeners of a delicate disposition, cover your ears now, because in our final episode of 2021, we discuss the world's rudest, funniest place names, including the village of Muff in Donegal, Ireland and Twatt in the Scottish Orkney islands. Inspired by the Rude Road Trip around the UK, undertaken by brothers Andy and Magnus Tait in 2019, we chat about naughty nomenclature, including Sandy Balls holiday resort in England, Pig Turd Alley in Sacramento, USA and Shag Point, South Australia, among others. 

In our Top 5 we drink 5 famous cocktails named after, or invented in, different global destinations, and rank them in order. As you'd image, we get increasingly tipsy as we drink our way through the list. What would be your favourite - a Bellini from Harry's Bar, Venice; a Pisco Sour from Peru or Chile; A Singapore Sling from the Long Bar in Raffles, Singapore; a Mojito from Cuba or an Irish coffee? We try them all so you don't have to. 

We finish the episode with the answer to the Where In The World clues Heidi gave Andrea at the start of the show. 

There's no interview this episode (because, alcohol) but we'll be back in January with more chats, another Where in the World, a top 5 and an interview with an influential travel expert.

Thanks, as always, to our good friends from Northern Ireland band 3D Shark, who provide our theme tune. 

Our 5th episode will be out towards the end of January. See you then, wherever you are in the world!
