I used to live at "26 Radical Ride, Wokingham" with my parents

Is it still called that? Whereabouts is it? Another funny one in wokingham (I think it's in wokingham rather than finchampsted) is Hart Dyke Lane. It's funny when you find out there's an all girls school down there

There's a Cat Brain Lane not too far from me :confused:

In Liverpool, there's the famous "Penny Lane". The sign nearest the Uni Halls there is painted onto the wall to stop people nicking it I suppose. One morning, some wag had changed the last two letters to "IS" very professionally. By the time we all got back in the afternoon, the council had painted it back. (Spoilsports)

Near me there is a balls lane

I've also got a There And Back Again Lane near me (it's a dead end, about 20m long

)

Might've been me posting it before. I saw it with my own eyes, tears streaming out of them in mirth.

Las Vegas is in Nevada or if you meant the Wild West than that was pretty much the whole of the western United States. That Zzyzx Road is apparently in California though

I've seen the usual "Gay Street" etc, nothing much more of note though

We have a Pocket Hankerchief Lane here

danza · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:31

@ Holly35

Is that in Burgess Hill? I know of that road!

Yep, it is indeed in good ol' BH!! We live over the Folders Lane estate at the mo. Just in the middle of buying our first house in Southway, near the Junior school of the same name.

Whereabouts are you???

Aliboy · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:39

There's a place in Dundee called 'The Moon'

BoomAM · 26 Feb 2006 at 19:59

No.7 in that list is the best imo.

Best one I seen was when I lived in Edinburgh, it's just off the Royal Mile,

Cockburn Street (although they pronounce it "Co-burn" Street, who are they kidding, it's Cockburn!!! lol

You missed out on Cockithat and Cockmy Lane

Seraphim · 26 Feb 2006 at 20:53

Not rude, but bizarre ('scuse the awful quality):

And just plain awesome:

There's a place called '**** Lane' about 1/2 a mile down the road from my Mums house.

Used to be a **** heap from the coal mines i believe.

That in Leigh I take it? I know a girl who lives on it, oh how I laughed
