Butt Hole Lane

No, the title is not some form of insult. Yes, the title is an actual street name.

Here's the article by Inquisitr:

Residents in Conisbrough, England have changed the name of their street after deciding that Butt Hole Road no longer appealed to them.

The name, despite its modern meaning, was given to the street hundred of years ago, and is named after a communal water butt.

Resident Peter Sutton told The Daily Mail that “he originally thought the street’s name would be fun - but admits he soon got tired of the jokes.” The paper also noted that the street had become a tourist attraction, particularly popular with Americans.

The street formerly known as Butt Hole Road is now known as the far less interesting Archers Lane.
Well, duh, of course it'll be very popular with American tourists. The pop culture bang of it is amazing if a street was named "Butt Hole Ln" in the USA. And imagine if someone such as ... I don't know... Britney Spears decided to live there. Hilarity would ensue.

Here's the google maps of it:

I'm trying to somehow fit the M1 highway into a joke... but James Bond + Butt Hole doesn't make sense.
