Villagers Opt to Keep Cowshit Lane

LONDON (Reuters) - It is not the sort of address most people
would want but a group of English villagers has turned down a
proposal to rename Cowshit Lane.
The name stirred controversy when the village of Golant in
southwest England decided to have a map drawn up for
visitors.

"I live there and I have no objection to the name," local
council chairman Alistair Barr was quoted as saying by the
Times newspaper Friday.

"Some others have suggested renaming it Cowslip Lane, which
I don't agree with."

Douglas Cooper, Barr's predecessor as chairman, staid: "I
only wish I lived there because I could put it on my headed
notepaper."
