Butt Hole Road in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire has been renamed by its residents to Archers Way, it has emerged.
Locals spent £300 for the official name change after getting tired of jokes about the street, the Daily Mail reports.
It was believed to have been named after a communal water butt previously situated in the area.
Pensioner Elizabeth Brennan, who uses the street for access, said: "It was a bit tedious having the street laughed at all the time. The new name is much nicer."
Paul Allott moved out of his house on the road in 2003 after complaining of "people flashing their bottoms for photographs by the drive" and others making mocking phonecalls.
However, an internet petition has been set up to change the name of the street back to Butt Hole Road.

You would.

You would.

I happen to love Yorkshire, what's your point?

 

[Drizzle]

This is an outrage! Change it back!

Butt Hole Road > Archer's Way

Sure the residents grew tired of the name but the new name should have been based on the history off the old name. If the street was originally named after a "communal water butt" how do they get "Archer's Way" from that?

There's a street in Manchester, a street lined with gay bars, a street called Canal Street.

Canal Street...

This happens every time the sign is renewed.

They actually have some really good restaurants there. Not necessarily fancy, but good nonetheless. The names of some of the shops/restaurants there are just hilarious, too.

Sit and Spend
Squat and Gobble
Moby Dick's

About all I can remember; it's been a while. It tends to be a bit dead during the day, from what I remember, so try to go at night if you ever get the chance.

It wasn't about coming up with something better.

It was a pretty harmless joke.

Sounds kinda gawdy, but when I eventually go there I am sure I will love it nonetheless.

It was kind of embarrassing.

Yeah but not nearly as bad as it could have been. As far ass butt hole jokes go, it's only mildly tasteless.

It's gawdy as hell. You KNOW when you go there what it's all about. Last time I was there (don't remember if it was the norm) there were rainbow flags on each and every light-post. But it's just fun, you know?

Butt Hole road intersects *****e Bag Boulevard.

Yeah, I gotta admit, everything I know about it makes it sound so in your face and so freakin' awesome. lol
