    Totally OT and perhaps a little fun

    I stumbled across the following inappropriate road name earlier today.
    It is called Carless Court and is in Gosport

    Anyone know of other inappropriate place or road names?

    I know there's a street (or there was) in Hong Kong called King Phuk Street. Always tickled my fancy that did, and many photos of me posed under the sign.

    Also, isn't the fire station in Wells in Burn street or something similar?

    In Overstrand, the next village along the coast from me, as you walk up from the sea, and get close to the White Horse pub, there's a 'Thurst Road' on your left <ok>

    Cheers Cromer for that. Long time since I last went to Wells, and thought my memory may have been playing tricks on me.

    On a side note Cromer, I'll be visiting the area in a few weeks. Any idea how the pier is fishing at the moment?

    There's been a lot of mackerel and some decent sea bass lately, dependant of course on the tides. Two weeks ago a young seal appeared next to the pier - not much was caught while he was around:emoticon-0100-smile

    Might bring my rods down just in case. If the pier isn't fishing it will have to be the tractor shed at Sheringham, or the old Hythe.

    I do seem to reall many years ago, that someone took artistic license with the Sign leading into Cromer so that it read

    Cromer Germ of the Norfolk Coast.
    Have to admit I did have a giggle or 5 at that.

    There's a sign for Walcott just before you get to Stalham which someone has added with sticky letters:

    THEO

    Tickles me everytime I go past. Oh there's a "Lovers Lane" in Fakenham which funnily enough is a little country lane off the bypass so quite convenient possibly for errrrr ahem lovers.
