ok found anothr site from U.S so here goes Pity me street Chicken Gristle Road in Granbury, Texas: Noisy Hole Road in Mashpee, Mass., We can't even tell you how many Licks we've heard about, such as Bone Lick and Deer Lick. In New York's Putnam County, we have Bullet Hole Road, which some might expect to find instead in the South Bronx. Jack Ass Hill Road in Littleton, Colo. Helluva Hill Lane. Hell for Certain Road. This Ain't It Road dead-ends into a lake where our cabin, recently bulldozed to make ready for a new home, was once located. Before the county actually built roads with names down to the lake, people would get lost, end up at the cabin asking if this was where so and so lived, and the cabin owner and neighbors who lived down this area would holler back, 'This ain't it.' When the county decided to improve the roads as well as name them all, the folks who lived in the area went to the courthouse and asked that their road be named 'This Ain't It.' Their request was granted.' come on lets find more

Its funny tho, if you live in a place with a funny or strange name then you dont always see it as others do, you just take it for granted!!!! Its got a couple of good pubs tho!! pmsl!! Clare x
