Couple Sells House, Butts Out of Neighborhood
Reuters
LONDON (Oct. 24) - A British couple have been forced to move out of their house because of the shame caused by the name of their street -- Butt Hole Road.
Paul and Lisa Allott sold their bungalow in Conisbrough, northern England after living there for just 15 months, fed up with the constant leg-pulling.
Taxis and pizza delivery men would fail to turn up, thinking their order was just a prank, and they grew tired with groups of youths posing for photos by the nearby street sign with their buttocks bared.
"I like a laugh, but it was beyond a joke," Allott told the Sun newspaper.
Attempts by Reuters to contact the new residents were unsuccessful -- they have taken an unlisted telephone number.
