but a village near my parents is called Libanus.

Someone taped a piece of blank paper over the 'Lib' bit.

# .
the sign for the river "uck" is often seen with an added F. The Council has made the sign as small as possible, but not small enough.

# When i was a kid
living in (shudder) Basildon there was a road nearby that the council had decided, in their infinite wisdom, to call "Puck Lane".

Apparently it is very very easy to remove the front part of the 'P' to make it look like an 'F'.

# Tame by comparison...
...but I serendipitously came across a place called Nasty a few years ago. We got out of the car and took a photo of ourselves pulling nasty faces under the sign.

Haven't got the photo, but here's the multimap link


This also gives me the idea of typing random rude words into the location bit to see what comes up - I'm off to try it now!
