Was looking for Bushy House on the map, which is on Bushy Road. Imagine my amusement when I found another Bushy Road near Cock Lane ;D

Good job it's not near this place or nobody would take science seriously :D

I've got a picture of this place somewhere but can't find it - it's a bar with an interesting name that I walked past last time I was in Copenhagen.

I didn't go in for fear of what they might serve - link (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Istedgade+17,+1650+K%C3%B8benhavn&layer=c&sll=55.671263,12.560410&cbp=13,60.01,,0,0.4&cbll=55.67118,12.560225&hl=en&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Istedgade+17,+1650+K%C3%B8benhavn,+K%C3%B8be nhavn+V,+Denmark&ll=55.671353,12.560227&spn=0.005143,0.012478&z=17&panoid=O-pFD23VnA2zLyhF1UgVaw).

We have a CockShut Lane (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cockshut+lane&aq=&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=19.248626,29.926758&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Cockshut+Ln&ll=52.817431,-1.445389&spn=0.009583,0.014613&z=16) near us. If you look on the map you'll see it's near Bog Lane.

I wonder if there used to be a Hamlet there... it could be called CockShut in the Bog...

Couldn't help giggling when I drove past 'Fanny Hands Lane' hehe.

Somewhere back in the UK I've a photograph of me and a bunch of friends standing by a street sign for "Bendover" near downtown Plzen in the Czech Republic. http://bit.ly/e0wWK3

There is always, also , the famous town of ****ing, Austria (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=****ing,+Austria&aq=0&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.379893,135.263672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=****ing,+Braunau+am+Inn,+Upper+Austria,+Aust ria&ll=48.067505,12.863359&spn=0.005994,0.016512&z=17)
