On the way home from taking The Boy Fish to Nursery, I saw a road name I hadn't noticed before...

Ladyhole Lane

Anyone have any funnier?

Just think - one day you'll have to explain to little fish why you're giggling at it whenever you drive past!

Just occured to me - last Christmas, were you tempted to point and say "Big Fish, Little Fish, Cardboard Box"? Apologies if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

YES.

Its now Grape Lane in York, anyway.

We went before Christmas and the lady who owned the restaurant we were in explained its where the hookers traded years ago.

There's a sign just up from my house which says 'Humps for 100 yards'

I've yet to see anything remotely fanciable.

I guess you've seen "Matt Welcome" do his act at Jongleurs?

I saw him do that about 7 years ago
