Homes in the UK’s most X-rated roads are proving a shrewd investment for those wanting to beat record property prices. So, if you can avoid blushing when explaining your new house is on The Knob, Turkey Cock Lane or Bell End an average saving of 22 per cent is on the cards. Experts spent two months studying the effect of street names on real estate prices for a nationwide audit. Their results show houses on rude thoroughfares are on for sale significantly less than those just 400m away.[/quote] Source - [url]http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/461614/Living-on-one-of-the-rudest-streets-in-the-UK-could-save-you-up-to-84-000?fb_action_ids=10154138335985521&fb_action_types=og.recommends&fb_ref=s%3DshowShareBarUI%3Ap%3Dfacebook-like[/url] [img]http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/80/590x/secondary/131275.jpg[/img] Hey I bet it's interesting when they try and order stuff off ebay and it never comes because they think its a prank
[QUOTE=Seriousshakey;44805179] Hey I bet it's interesting when they try and order stuff off ebay and it never comes because they think its a prank[/QUOTE] The seller on Ebay already has the money, they'd send it out and it'd be returned by Royal Mail if it wasn't a real address.
Dude, where's the block part at? Oh! it's down on 423 Fuck Cunt street. near the intersection of Piss Shit Boulevard and Cock Slut Ave?
I want to live on butt hole road. Be wary of giant but hole
Butt Hole Rod.
how the fuck did they even get these names
Now for some reason i was legitimately expecting the thread to be about a heavily ska influenced street in the UK.
[QUOTE=Slippery-Q;44805279]how the fuck did they even get these names[/QUOTE] Just a guess, but I'd assume it dates back a few hundred years in some of them where they were hang outs for some ladies of negotiable virtue. Or maybe it was just someone 'avin a giggle.
Wow I'd pay a premium to live on those streets
bell end is the fucking best there's a bell road near my house i wonder if there's a bell end associated with it
[QUOTE=Viva;44805281]Now for some reason i was legitimately expecting the thread to be about a heavily ska influenced street in the UK.[/QUOTE] I thought it'd be about neighbourhoods where the neighbours are all rude pricks.
Bell End :v:
If you think this is bad, they used to have [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gropecunt_Lane"]Gropecunt lane[/URL] around the UK. :v:

[QUOTE=Slippery-Q;44805279]how the fuck did they even get these names[/QUOTE] Well, a road near me is called "Slag Lane" (Slag being pretty much the british for slut, if not more) but, you have to keep in mind the area was an industrial area, so the original usage of the word Slag in its name is entirely innocuous.

I laughed harder than I should have at this.
By the thread title I figured it'd have to do with putting up with living around a bunch of chavs.

No-one's made the obvious joke about hooking up and going back to Gropecunt Lane (and doing just that)? I won't break the peace, but I'm really surprised/impressed/disappointed. I wonder if there'd be any issues with forms or postage though. I remember XBOX Live doesn't allow users to enter swear words as addresses, which caused trouble for someone who lived in an unfortunately named area in America.
I thought the shop owners were rude, so you would'nt spend any money
