There seems to be a game here. Think up street names that sound funny when spoken.

Examples:
Rung Way
Drynken Drive
Yawtew Close
Hoff Road
Chillub Lane
Nigh Street

And the police station address:
Letsby Avenue

Awhh that one sounds lovely too! My heart's delight is CHOCOLATE!!!

Bunny, there probably are naked men and women and apples but no snakes as St Patrick drove them out of Ireland :lol:

Don't you know btw that it wasnt the apple that hung on the tree that caused the trouble - it was the 'pear' that lay on the ground! :lol:

I spotted some more good road names today in Birmingham and in the map.

The best one by far was a road we past called 'the dingle'. I think they should name a road on the other side 'the dongle.' :lol:
