RUDE TRIP

Brothers drive 2,000 miles on UK’s rudest road trip to discover the most offensive British destinations

The duo visited destinations like The Knob, Sandyballs, and Butthole Lane over the four-day trip

TWO Scottish brothers have completed an epic 'Rude Trip' of Britain, driving 2,000 miles to visit every place with an offensive name.

Andy and Magnus Tait spent six years planning their journey visiting streets, villages and towns with naughty titles.

Over the four day trip, the brothers stopped for a quick selfie at 34 different cheeky signs in 25 counties along the north, east, south and west coasts.

They dreamed up the idea after driving past a place called South Gash, in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire in 2013.

Andy then started researching the locations of other hilarious named places.

Andy, from Aberdeen, said: "I've had the idea for six years now. I insisted we stopped at South Gash to take a photo but Magnus didn't fancy it.

"That led to an obsession for places with funny names and six years later Magnus decided to make it up to me.

"He saw the funny side of it eventually.";

After packing up their car and taking off from Edinburgh, the brothers stopped for a photo in crude destinations like Cumwhinton, Sandyballs, Wetwang and Fanny Street.

Andy's route was so well mapped out that it only took the pair between 60 and 90 minutes to drive between each stop.

The most picturesque places for him were Poundbottom and Sandyballs in the New Forest.

But his favourite out of the lot, based on the hilarity of its name, was Wilsford Cum Lake.

Andy said: "It was a bit of a slog towards the end and it was dark when we got to some places. But never at any point did we get bored.

"I'd say it's definitely an alternative way to see Britain. We just found it hilarious. We laughed our asses off at each place and that says a lot about us."

"We have got a childish and immature sense of humour.

"This is something we can tick off our bucket list."
