They’re right, you know. Memory Lane is a really stupid name for a road because it sounds like a local radio station’s Sunday afternoon programme where they play only the standards from the 1930s and 1940s.

Or, as the residents point out, because people think they are living next to the cemetery. Which, coincidentally, most of the listeners of a local radio station’s Sunday afternoon programme where they play only the standards from the 1930s and 1940s currently reside.

Stuff NZ: Property developer gets into a tizzy because residents have gone to the local council to get road name changed to something a little less twee

Williamson built, owned and named the road, and was furious the council was  changing its name. “It cost me $300,000 to put in. You’d think I could name my own bloody road,” he said.

Them’s the breaks, mate. And it could be worse.

This is Local London: Would you live in a road called ISIS street?

Yes I would, because I am not an idiot and have no problem with my road coincidentally sharing a name with a bunch of cut-throats and murderers in the Middle East.

Neither would I have any problem living here:

In fact, I’d be proud to have that as my address.

However, places we would not like as an address:

Jimmy Savile Close

David Attenborough Touches Goats Street

Bumwipe Avenue

Donald Trump Memorial Crater

The people who live down his street all have very small penises Street

Not 100% sure about this one, either.
