Amusing story in Sunday Times.

[Covenant]

The Austrian town of Fucking has installed CCTV to stop visitors canoodling by road signs. The German town, Wank is giving them advice. Many people go there for a Wank Holiday. :)

Here is a link to the road sign. Wouldn't catch my missus being photographed by it.

Apparently the locals have been complaining about British tourists F*****G ABOUT (http://banderasnews.com/0611/nw-fucking-austria.htm) for a while now.

HeHe... some classic quotes...

"We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed," the officer said.

"It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."

http://banderasnews.com/images/spacer.gif
Local tourist guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with Fucking.

"The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg," he explained. "Every American seems to care only about 'The Sound of Music' (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg.) The occasional Japanese wants to see Hilter's birthplace in Braunau."

"But for the British, it's all about Fucking."

Guesthouse manager Augustina Lindelbauer described the village's breathtaking lakes, forests and vistas. "Yet still there is this obsession with Fucking," she said. "Just this morning I had to tell an English lady that there were no Fucking postcards."

I'm just off to grow up a bit. :lolsign:

We could turn this into a thread about funny place names. There is a place near me called Pewfall. I also live near a village called Lunt but the local lads change the L to a C. Then someone comes along with a tin of paint to change it back.

Ah well, it's funny you should ask....;)

While on a short break in Cornwall in April we happened to see a signpost to "Cocks"! We did do a 5 minute detour to try and get our picture taken by the village sign but it has been nicked. :doh: So the best we can show is the satnav screen and the sign on the main road.

Lickey End is near Birmingham. That name still makes me laugh.
