[BITList] No Snickering: That Road Sign Means Something Else

John,

Some people work hard to get a laugh from a name.  Try as I might, I can find nothing in "four Corfe" remotely suggestive, no matter how fast I say it. Unless "forcore" is obscene?  Ditto for Butt Hole - up where I abide, "butt" means nothing to the man or woman in the street, though a boilermaker, if such is to be found, might understand it.  And East Breast - the harbours here always had breests, East and West, but women didn't, so even as kids we didn't see sexual meanings in the harbours.

Hugh.
