Ty Korrigan Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It really exists! Also I almost had a crash when I passed a sign between Neulliac and Gueltas in 56 that I thought said 'Kercun!' (use your imagination) but it was in fact not a dirty word just a dirty sign that read 'Kercunf' Have you chaps found any other schoolboy humour level place names on your travels...?

Tresco Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Condom is the obvious one in France, but I think there may be an Anus as well. [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Not dirty, but probably counts as schoolboy humour. Ay least we used to find such things funny when I was of such an age. There's a place somewhere in France called Les Bians - I think I have a picture of the sign.There was also that French soft drink called Pschitt. Does it still exist? I haven't heard of it for ages.

Dick Smith Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Not in France, but in the UK there's a place called Snitterton, which has to replace a lot of road signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Korrigan Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Once again I am not kidding...Whilst I was on a training camp for cyclists on the island of Mallorca my mate had a puncture in a village. He propped his bike up by the village sign to mend the tube and I took a picture of the scene. The village was called BUGER... which incidently was the phrase my mate used....

Tresco Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Excuse me Ty, but I believe you have nicked and misused one of my apostrophes.

Suze01 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Pschitt lemonade still exists - my son and his friend recently had some at the bowling palace in Périgueux - caused some hilarity [:-))]How about Piles for a place name - in between Périgueux and Bergerac.

Ty Korrigan Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 I confess I am terrified of Dick Smith since I teased him once during an 'inhebrieted' moment (was there a spell checker once here..?) I am always concious of gramatical erors and spelling mistakes when posting and every day that passes without being hauled over the coals is a blessing for me... I shall read 'eats shoots and leaves' at the earliest available opportunity... and maybe go to night school... Apostrophes misplaced and spelling misconstrooode...Sorry!

Dick Smith Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Be fair, I gave you full respect for your thread about getting off your b*m and getting work. That shows balls. That's more important than punctuation.And it's 'Eats, shoots and leaves'(Sorry, couldn't resist)One day I'll post what I have to put up with every day in kids' writing. But just a taste - today I told a kid to stop talking when I was trying to explain something to the class. "Why shouldn't I talk?" she asked, "You do it all the time". I really didn't have an answer for that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Redman Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 During our protracted house hunting we encoutered 'Pimpadour' and everytime I drive east out St Matheu I have to restrain my language as we pass through Tourrettes. Sad through it sounds we also struggle to avoid saying 'Needdeep' everytime we pass through Riberac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
