As far as I can remember, there are also America, Quebec, Melbourne and (if you can count it) Scotland. I've a feeling there's a Canada as well. And was Washington mentioned?

Hollywood in Northern Ireland! O...K.... so it's actually Holywood but pronounced the same.

There are two Washingtons in the UK - one in West Sussex, and one in Tyne & Wear.

On the Aussie theme, there is a village in Cambridgeshire called Queen Adelaide. It's just to the north-east of Ely, and is also the point at which the railway splits into three branches - which also means there are three level crossings within a short distance of each other.

Bonus points for Kirk if he can name where each of the three branches goes.
