Streets with funny names

By Danny Bull | January 15, 2009

Just like humans, streets can have funny names too. And there can’t be any funnier than the collection in the article, Where the streets have bad names. The UK features heavily with Sluts Hole Lane in Norfolk, Grope Lane in Shrewsbury and Butts Wynd in St. Andrews (Scotland). Who said the English have a stiff upper lip.

If you know of any more feel free add them to the comments.

    The other day I cam across ‘Mafeking Road’. If this was said quickly it could come across quite rudely.
