Yorkshire was named after Dave York from Blackburn. After heading east into the wilderness, he found there was nowhere to rent a car. Spotting a business opportunity he decided to set up York's Hire. This became wildly successful and gave it's name to the surrounding land.

The Blackburn Buccaneer was powered by real buccaneers. Each engine was fitted with pedals, and a privateer would furiously turn the crank to achieve thrust.

The Blackburn Buccaneer had a hand in the Accrington Accident. Residents have never been the same since.

Stanley Accrington was such a popular pornstar of the late 1800s they named a football team after him. The communal shower following each game was a sight to behold.

Many accountants also moonlight as pornstars, attracted by the tax breaks.
For instance, Martin Lewis of moneysaving expert fame has a niche in Caribbean porn flicks. Amongst other credits, he starred as "Long" John Silver in "Pleasure Island", and also had the "Pornstar Martini" named in his honour.

EastEnders was devised by Mary Whitehouse as a contraceptive.
Unfortunately, the end result was too potent as not only were viewers losing the will to jig-a-jig, but were also losing the will to live.
Curiously, Coronation Street has been known to make women unfeasibly horny. It seems the sight of Ken Barlow it the top button of his cardie undone is only fit for post watershed viewing.

Mary Whitehouse was Linda Lovelace's cousin.
Following a childhood feud over an Action Man doll, Whitehouse and Lovelace became bitter enemies, with Whitehouse vowing to do all she could to ruin her cousins career. This crusade was largely unsuccessful in America, but remarkably effective in Chelmsford, the capital city of Wales.
They remained enemies for much of their lives, until a reconciliation took place at the funeral of Whitehouse's lover, Hugh Hefner.

Action men sold in Scotland are in fact women.
Curiously, the special edition JK Rowling Action Woman has a huge pair of balls.

It is a little known fact that Glasgow is in fact an enclave of England, and falls under Lambeth Council.
The residents, a bohemian lot, are ashamed of this and distance themselves from their brethren by putting on fake accents and holding regular headbutting duels.
