Non PC Road Names

Whilst driving across country last week we went through Rye on the B2089, as we got just outside of the village my son burst out laughing and pointed across the road to a road name sign - ' Dumb Womans Lane'

Can't see that being allowed to stay for much longer in todays PC world Smile

How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

I took the photo simply because my family lived on Slag Lane for years. So named because of the proximity of 3 local collieries.
