We live in idyllic UK town with one of the rudest names - it's so funny TV star became mayor

DESPITE gaining a respected place on the Rude Map of Britain, residents of Wetwang don’t know what all the fuss is about - and are more concerned the village doesn’t have a local shop.

While some Wetwangers are tremendously proud of their naughty accolade, there are those that don’t get why people think it’s a filthy word, and are amazed at the fascination of outsiders.

The signs going in and out of the village in the Yorkshire Wolds have had to be raised in height to stop bemused tourists nicking them.

Instead they now pose beside them, pointing and laughing in disbelief before posting their pics on social media.

Jason Darling, 52, has lived in the village with partner Sharn Jackson, 49, since 2016, after leaving his post with the Royal Logistics Corps in Germany to come to North Yorkshire. Sharn runs local dog grooming business Jacko’s Fluff Your Pups.

Jason told The Sun when we visited: “People were always nicking the sign. One day there was Ainsley Harriet stickers on there and we had no idea why.

“We just moved here because we needed somewhere to live to move from Germany, we just picked it out and moved here.

"We did think it was an unusual name but had no idea about all the fuss.

“In Germany there were many unusually named places so we didn’t bat an eyelid. It is a great place to live, it is nice and quiet.”

Apart from its sign, the most popular Wetwang attraction is the fish and chip shop - Deep Blue - which has a constant queue outside.
