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

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

Not everyone is so delicate as to try and force the world to bow to their sensibilities :shrug:

It tells me so much more about the utter morons who pretended to be offended about this

Zizu 23-01-2023 06:29 PM

Is this for real ?

There are sooo many fake stories around like the one about schools banning Baa Bas Black sheep which was complete Bollox apparently

Same council as Edward Colston Statue Arista ,which i thought was disgusting pulling down and dumping in dock and glad they went to jail for doing it. Those names should stay they are donkey years old . I hate all tthe name changing trying to wipe out history and pretend it never happened.

OMG La Rose ~ really ! is this council for real ~ down the pan if this tripe continues ! Country is broke and we piss ass about with rubbish like this, no surprises there though !!

Redway 24-01-2023 03:01 AM

The “Formerly Black Boy Lane” inscription at the bottom of the new name makes the whole thing seem redundant.

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

Good use of £189,000?]

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

On page 1
I posted the Council Link

He is a Respected Poet from the Past.

I had not heard of him,
But they have kept the old name in small text

arista 24-01-2023 04:49 PM

Did not take long?
