hahahaha fantastic!

After months of wrangling between life-long villagers and affluent newcomers, a High Court judge has ruled that the name of the tiny Dorset village of Schroatham should correctly be pronounced ’scrotum’.

Finally, after considerable research, the judge’s decision was swayed by evidence uncovered by historians showing that the town was named in the 10th Century, after the Anglo-Saxon word Shkoot’m, meaning ‘ball-bag’

spoof news is great.
