    Funny street names...

    On my way back from lunch today I suddenly realised - sorry, I've only spent 9 months learning the language - that one of the streets I pass by, when translated, is named simply the 'wider red street', which I found quite an amusing name.

    Ok maybe its not that funny, but anyone care to give other examples from round the world that raised a smile in translation...

    I drive past "Jackass Lane" everyday on the A25.

      'Grape Street' in Covent Garden.

      Not very funny. But it was renamed from 'Gropecvnt Street', which raises a smile.

              There are a whole host of places world wide with rude names!


              Favourite street in Heidelberg is FahrtGasse.
              I am not qualified to give the above advice!

              The original point and click interface by
              Smith and Wesson.

              Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                  Nice find Eddie!

                  Can you imagine though if someone asks you your address and you have to tell them its White Knobs Way.

                    The real question is whether it's meant to be White Knob's Way, White Knobs' Way or White Knobs Way.
