According to Wikipedia Coinsbrough has a population of 15,000 people. In a town that size I would thing 100% of adults would know about the existence of Butt Hole Road. The idea that a taxi driver wouldn’t know about it is hard to believe.

That’s alright. At least we’ve still got Dildo, Canada.

If all they wanted to do was to clean it up a bit, they’d have renamed it Anal Sphincter Avenue.

Whenever these funny/vulgar/weird place and street names come up one of the common complaints and motivations for changing is people stealing the signs, presumably for their dorm rooms.

I think it would be a fun bit of reverse vandalism to see people keep re-installing signs with the old name.

So, they’ve changed the name from “Butt Hole Road” to "“Archer Arsehole’s Way”

Butts fields were used for Archery, hence the rename I guess. Of course it wasn’t considered rude until TV exposed(sic) us to American words.

Could have got sponsorship from a toilet paper maker. Andrex Avenue, Cushelle Court, Kleenex Klose.

The taxis in question might be coming from nearby (and much larger) Doncaster or Sheffield though. All these little English towns are really part of larger metro areas nowadays, much like the eastern seaboard of the US, or Los Angeles county.
