At the top of our road is a junction called 'Dangerous Corner'.

But of course, you'd need to go a long way to beat those crazy scots.

To the OP: google the original name for Threadneedle Street. I would tell you but I suspect I'd fall foul of the swear filter.

F*cking in Austria

Apparently it amuses English tourists, so they steal the sign.

(and amuses web monkeys to remove the ability to post pic with swear word in the url)

There is an Ince St School in Wigan. For brothers and sisters I assume.

But in Norfolk there is a village called Stiffkey but the local kids always paint out the k on the sign.
