My late father ran a restaurant where I live. Every summer we used to get a number of US customers who thought it funny to visit 'Oulton Broad'. One of the locals cashed in by calling his bungalow 'Dyke Cottage' and made a few bob taking their pictures against the house name.

 

In Norfolk the locals would say that they 'go up ' rather than 'go to'. In Norwich there is a road called 'Rose Lane', so a Norwich person might say that they 'hiv just bin up Roose Lane', lucky girl. It must have stuck, its now the local kerb crawling area.
