Story

To save you having to click: This cyclist rode 4,000km from Poo Poo Point to Pee Pee Creek

Poo Poo Point makes me think of this place on the south shore of Olosjärvi, near Muonio in Finland. N 67° 57' 42.693" E 23° 50' 23.748"

Paskalahti could politely be translated as Poopoo Bay. Not quite creek but not far off.

Reminds me of a story of a planning application that was made to Argyll council for a new-build house on the edge of a loch. The (non-gaelic-speaking) applicants had named the house something like "Tigh na batan", which they thought meant "The Boat House". However, the Gaelic speaking planning committee asked if they meant "Tigh na bhàta", or whether they really intended to call the building "The House of the Penis".

We have one of these near here:

Letsby Avenue? Next to a police operations unit? Yeah, right.
I checked on OSM:

So I cycled out there to check, and if present, grab a photo of the road name. Erm, no.
Letsby Ave doesn't actually exist here and it's actually just part of the Europa Way network. I suspect it's an artefact created by some wag who knows you can suggest corrections to Google maps, or correct OSM data yourself.
Sadly, the schoolboy in me chuckles too much at the jape to not want to point out the error. Yes, I am that shallow.

The original was indeed signed 'Letsby Avenue' when the main nick was on Attercliffe Common in front of where the old Don Valley stadium was.I have a photo somewhere.This was back in the 1990s.

I'm sorry to say that Fatty bum bum, Saxilby, Lincoln is no more. Google have edited it out

There's an article about it - before it was removed - here

Can’t be harsed to go through to see if this has already been done, but the very pleasant lane that runs between the A303 near Stonehenge and Old Sarum has this hamlet. Anyone fancy a swim?

We have a Happy Bottom in Corfe Mullen Dorset 😁

This place, near Reading is not remotely smutty. But what an odd choice for a suburban road. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4...MNQgzEOdVLfpNDfhryKA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en
