Anyone living on weird sounding streets/areas

[ABroads]

We are thinking of putting an offer in on a house.. but it's on a road called 'Snatchup'.. Would it be wrong to not buy a house just because of the streetname..

Does anyone else live on weird named streets/areas and does it bother you??

I don't live there but ......Fanny Street in Saltaire. And I used to drive past Slack Bottom.

dh 's grandparents used to visit the department store Brown Muff. It's been gone a long time now.

There's a road near me called Carter's Lane and on the street sign it says 'Carter's Lane formerly known as Wibbly Wobbly Lane'

amigababy I live about a mile from there There's also the famous fannies ale house.

Bike Great Fryup Dale sounds ace!!

Are daft place names restricted to Yotkshire then?

Our street has the word 'Tit' in it but thankfully you don't really notice.

Young boys do snigger occasionally

Our town sounds rude when you read it, but people say it fast with a certain emphasis to make it sound normal.

We do always chuckle when driving through Carsie in Perthshire though

Oh I lived on old cock road.... Literally the next road is called cockshot avenue! And My local pub before this was the cock of Tupsley

I used to live between lickey end and bell end!

I was looking at a house on right move- no.6 Upper Butts, unfortunately I couldn't afford it! But I couldn't resist asking the DC if they could live there...cue much hilarity

I nearly bought a flat on a road called Crutched Friars which always made me smile.

I know someone who lives on a road called Dag End which seems a horrible name for a road (dags being the bits of poo and wool around a sheep's bum - and it is a sheep farming area so it's definitely called after that).

Friend lived in Freke Road in Lomdon. They moved perhaps there were other factors

Another friend lives in an area of Cardiff called Splott. Now that's worth moving to.

There is a Cockpole Green near me.

There's a road in an area we're considering called Manwood Road. I LONG to live there just for the lolz.

I used to live just off a road called Slag Lane. Still makes me chuckle.

I used to live near to Basque Court on Garter Way in London. Cheered me up no end each day!!!!!

I used to live near a town called Wankum in Germany

The town sign

There is a small village near me called Eden and there is a little cul de sac of houses named 'garden of Eden'

Wigeon yes! I used to want to move there and have a house called Split-Splat so when someone asked my address I could just say Split Splat Splot! Because I'm very silly.....

There's a white knob lane near Caterham in Surrey :) I don't live there but have driven past a few times!

This has just reminded me of a village reasonably close by that's called Ireland. It must lead to so many predictable conversations about being not the country but the village and yes, it is just down the road and not across the Irish Sea ad infinitum. I can imagine having it as part of your address could cause no end of problems!

There's a road named Enid Blyton Close.
In a previous job, my colleague and I gave someone an interview, purely due to her living on that road
Well, her application was good too, honestly.

As long as it's not back passage or something really dreadful, I'd over look it I think. The name of my road is not great and I am sometimes embarrassed saying it to people who aren't local and don't know it.

I know of a road called Hornyold Avenue...
