Would you love to change the name of your street address?
Imagine living on Butt Hole road. Imagine tour buses stopping so tourists can take a picture next to the sign.
Thankfully this U.K. neighborhood was finally given the thumbs up to change Butt Hole Road to the more gentle sounding Archer's Way. "We had enough. We are much happier now. We just want to move on," said one resident.
Other street names residents got approval to change in the U.K.:
- Bent Street is now Greenhurst Place
- Brewery Street (on a college campus) is now University Close
- Bladder Lane is now Boniface Lane.
