No Snickering - That Road Sign Means Something Else

Now if I were a British entrepreneur, I would petition to create about a gazillion post office boxes there, and then re-sell them as re-mailing addresses. Who wouldn't be proud to send and receive mail from Butt Hole Road in Crapstone?

For those of you not from the UK, I must clarify that this is the Crapstone in South Yorkshire, the lower half of England's picturesque Pudding Country. Do NOT confuse it with Crapstone-upon-Stiffkey, which is in North Norfolk, the only part of England with no historical significance of any kind. Also, do not confuse it with Crapstone-upon-Blackwater, which sounds like a British town, but is actually a bowel disease.

And if you have to ask about Crapstone-upon-Gaywood, you're probably reading the wrong page.
