Here in Norway we have a small county called 'Hell'. The name comes from old norse, and means 'cave under cliff'. "Gods" is norwegian for 'goods'.

There is a road and an area not too far from us called "Hell Hollow". The town has a... heck of a time keeping a street sign on it. They keep disappearing.

Hell Hollow is on Blow-Me-Down Brook*. As the town administrator deadpans every year when talking about storm damage, it is an aptly named place.

Pity the Austrian village formerly called 'Fucking' - they stuck with it for a few years after initial internet notoriety and signage theft, before changing it to 'Fugging'. For a while in the middle there was reputedly a pale beer 'Fucking Hell.' I don't blame them - there are loads of dubiously named beers round me which people may or may not find entertaining, let alone village names or road names. The worst were usually close to the town's market where they picked up descriptive names like 'Tickle-Cock Alley' or 'Gropecunt Lane' because that's where the oldest trade was based. Most councils have renamed them now, with more or less local opposition. I don't know where 'Twatt' got its name.

This sign needs an asterisk... and a footnote.

Or as Yogi Berra would say, "If you see a fork in the road, take it"

Pretty sure Steve Winwood considered using that as a lyric in one of his latter-day hits, but then revised it a little bit -- perhaps to avoid charges of plagiarism.

FYI, Yogi lived on a circle where it was equal distance from the left or right at the fork. He was just saying it didn't matter.

So not about doing your civic duty to reduce the chance of punctures caused by abandoned cutlery?

I often wonder where my cutlery disappears to. Now I know it's littering a road somewhere.

We've heard from Yogi anyway, but what does Boo Boo think?

''Berra himself said, "I was going to sue the Yogi Bear program for using my name until somebody reminded me that Yogi isn't my real name. It's Lawrence.''

Saw yesterday in Surry Hills in Sydney. Appropriate deterioration. A pharmacy is a drugstore in Oz

Maybe having launched boats near a public road has conditioned me to think this is normal, at least for those places where boats are likely to be launched. On the other hand "Heavy Plant Crossing" always makes me think of triffids.
