No, it has already a Poet's name
but a long year to wait for it.

I didn't even know there was a road called this.

I know Friday night dinner joked about a pub being called something similar.

I've tried to take a photo of that sign to post on tibb before, it made me laugh at all the huballoo about the statues.

My phone, and my working it capabilities probably saved me a banning.

What's Spurs got to do with anything?:hehe:

I actually don't mind Spurs before any of their fans lynch me.:laugh:

Good name changes for this could either be Incel Avenue or Feminazi Street.

Both ideologies are so En Vogue at the moment.

[81% of Black Boy Lane residents were not
in favour of changing the name.
According to the minutes,
no residents attended the
public consultation meeting nor the online meeting.

They even left the
old "offensive" name on the sign

Good use of £189,000?]

Setting it in Concrete


Long Consultations - cost Money.

yes it does, but they have to do that until maps etc get updated, it's standard practice. It needs to be viewed in the long term rather than short term. So in 10 years or whatever it will only be known by the new name

The issue isn't that that particular sign cost 189k, it's that it costs that amount of money to do that type of road work. Thats where the complaint should be (if it is true) not against the changing of the sign itself. It's pretty obviously an over exaggeration by someone who doesn't give a toss about who is offended

No £10

[Beso]

All this was done because of the black lives matter movement.

£186 large ones in costs to us, the british tax payer. All because some American thug got knelt on for 2 long by a copper exerting his authority over the filming bystanders.

At the begining the residents were all for it, but now after finding out the cost many of them on that street have put up their own signs with the old street name on them and bolted them to their houses in protest.

Very fickle, imo.

This rather far fetched story is, of course, completely false. Despite the photo being usually accompanied with "Google it, it's absolutely true", those who do take a few seconds to Google it immediately find that it is not. There is no town in Hertfordshire called Tillet, nor any village called Erbum. The photo is of a pub with that name, in a village called Sarratt, but the rest is made up.

[hijaxers]

We've got Whiteladies Rd and it continues to Blackboy Hill ~ the Blackboy pub located on the hill changed its name years ago.

Whiteladies Rd came from nuns who were located there who wore all white. Blackboy Hill is from King Charles 2nd who's nickname was Blackboy ~ due to his mass of black hair , Lots of pubs were called the Blackboy, its nothing to do with slave trade or racism.

[Alf]

What is wrong with Black Boys? What do these people find offensive about Black Boys? Why don't these people want Black Boys represented in a street name?

I think they are the racists and just project their racism onto others as a way to erase Black representation.

Days after a new road sign was defaced in north London, a huge sign featuring its original name was screwed to the wall behind.

Black Boy Lane in Tottenham was renamed La Rose Lane by Haringey Council last week, citing concerns about its racial connotations.

Just 24 hours later, black paint was splashed over the new sign and, days later, the poster appeared.

It is not known who put it up and the council has since removed it.
