There’s a town just outside Horsham called Pimpinio and whenever you drive through it you have to talk in a Geppetto voice to the pimp Pimpinio.

Similar with 'Mogador', near junction 8 of the M25.

We have a similar saying.

When passing Motherwell on the M74, we always say "There's been a Mordor" in a voice which is part Gandalf, part Jim Taggart.

There's a Horrible Histories song with the line "Colchester, London, St. Alban's, everybody talk about dead Romans". We always sing it if any of those places is mentioned or is spotted on a road sign.

I used to do similar, but as if I were requesting additional "peth"

My husband and I just make eye contact now when we drive past the Ampthill turnoff on our way darn sarf. We both have the same image in our head of 8 cartoon gangsters in a car fuelled by their visible legs poking out the bottom

As someone who both grew up in Morpeth, and is also a fan of Lord of the Rings and Opeth, I wholeheartedly endorse this behaviour! 🤘🏻😂🤘🏻
