Wankum
Wankum is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany The town's location, near the A40 autobahn close to the border with The Netherlands, is infamous with British motorists who pass the sign to the Wankum exit shortly after entering Germany and view the name with amusement (sometimes photographing it) because of its first syllable. At one time, probably the most used petrol station in Germany was in Wankum. British troops serving in Germany are issued with fuel coupons to buy discounted fuel.
