that is really funny. there was a book in the library just like that... it had pic after pic of the road signs..

i laughed so much. :D:D:D

[ex_anser_ovo]

I could see how it can be because the British language has different slang words. Or the roads are named after actual people.

But, Butt Hole Road? Someone in that community meeting must have said something before that went through. :p

There is a place called brown Willy in Cornwall. :D

Best known for the Brown Willy Effect... I kid you not!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Willy_effect

The Brown Willy effect is a meteorological phenomenon that sometimes occurs across the south-west peninsula of Britain. It leads to heavy showers developing over the high ground of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, which then often travel a considerable distance downwind of their place of origin. It is named after the hill, Brown Willy, the highest point on the moor and in Cornwall as a whole. It is thought that the Boscastle flood of 2004 was caused by a particularly extreme example of the effect.:D:D:D
