"gropec~~t lane" in oxford, and yes it does exactly what it says on the tin, or used to, once being a street full of brothels. them olden day folks had the right idea, i think streets should be named for what goes on there, it would make navigation a lot easier.

the goodytwoshoes have since changed it to magpie lane but some of us prefer the traditional to the politically correct.

I want to live in 'Wetwang' - always make me think you are giving your own personal two finger salute when people ask. Where do you live? You simply say Wetwang. (good fish n chip shop too)

One for sorrow, two for joy, perhaps?

I live near Penistone- bummer if you have a business there as people will struggle with google to find you.

Ugley is not far from me. Six Mile Bottom is about 60 miles away from here too. Then there's Little Snoring and Great Snoring, of course.

How about "Fannny Hands Lane"?

Just down the road is a little place called "Fusty Weed". Even locals don't believe it exists until I show them the photo of the village sign.

In Norfolk we "do different" when it comes to place names!
