jinnantonnixx Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 No such thing as bad publicity? Well, maybe not. Sarah Duncan Yikes! Can't see this business lasting much longer. Background: Road Rage In Bath: Sarah Duncan and the Rise of the Middle Class Yobbo - International Business Times
CAM Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Isn't parking like that illegal anyway? As for the article: Wetwang, East Yorkshire Got to visit there and grab a photo of that town sign!
jinnantonnixx Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 I think the bad parking is the least of the story. It could all have been defused easily with an 'oops silly me' but it all got out of hand when the inner idiot came to the fore.
featured_spectre Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Despite the fact that she parked awfully, she in no way deserves the hate calls she has been getting.
IrritableTech Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Isn't parking like that illegal anyway? As for the article: Got to visit there and grab a photo of that town sign! Great (simple) minds...
LiamH Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Despite the fact that she parked awfully, she in no way deserves the hate calls she has been getting. Its more the fact she threatened to lie to the police about getting assaulted in order to get her own way and in the process ruin someones life and waste police time.
sippo Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 She was in the wrong at the end of the day. She parked in the middle of a main road, just because she wanted to drop something off. Unfortunately this is society today - very selfish!

X-13 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 The most hilarious route in the UK. Unless of course, you know better? It needs a waypoint at Cockfosters.
shenley Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 The most hilarious route in the UK. Unless of course, you know better? Lickey End is quite close to Bell End.
tech_guy Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Or you could go via Haseley Knob, which is only a slight detour?
sonofsanta Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Norfolk is full of these; this is my favourite. Especially when you drive south through it and see this road, which should be innocent, but, well... your mind is in the gutter by that point.
aerospacemango Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Me and the Fiance are starting to look at moving, and buying a house together..... I wanted the house that's for sale here.... 3 bedroom detached house for sale in Titty Ho, Raunds, Wellingborough, NN9 Unfortunately, my fiance thinks it's too far away for kids school and work in Wellingborough......
synaesthesia Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Well, there's a Bell End in Wollaston too which is slightly closer than Raunds (note - any houses likely to ever go up for sale on Bell End will easily cost upwards of a million!)
Dos_Box Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Years ago, in my biking days, Back Street Heroes magazine used to run a competition each year called 'The Landmarks Tour' where you had to visit a certain number of sites out of a given list, in return for sendign them your snaps of you and your bike in each location you would receive a very nice metal badge. Each year would have a differnt theme, and one year (about 96 IIRC) it was silly named places. I went to... Tiksover Idle Working Mens Club (Leeds) Vulcan Village Pidley ...and several others that the years have removed from my brain. I still have the badges on my denim cut-off which I'll probably pass onto my kids I'll have to take a picture of the badges to show you as they were things of beauty.

shenley Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 In South Australia, the real men come from Iron Knob. I had a strange desire to "spend a penny" when I visted the River Piddle in Dorset.

My brother had a number of those ... and his mate was proud to have done a road trip in the states, going 1600 miles out of the way just to get a picture of him at 2 different places, Bald Knob and Spread Eagle.
korifugi Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 What about here? Does someone live at number 4?

Mcshammer_dj Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Lets also not forget the Man City Fans for their wish to remember Colin Bell (City legend) by naming one of the stands at the end of the pitch after him when they moved to the City of Manchester stadium Edited February 24, 2012 by Mcshammer_dj
BatchFile Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) The woods around Clacket Lane Services are another one for those with grubby minds:o - Clacket Lane Services - Google Maps I'm sure I read somewhere that up to a week before opening Clacket Lane Services were called Titsey Services - can't imagine why they changed it... * edit: source found http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Clacket_Lane Edited February 24, 2012 by BatchFile Found it!
