As if things couldn't get any worse.....

The semantic argument must be doing wonders for the trader's business, with all the free publicity. Where else are shopping areas discussed ad nauseum with regard to their respective names, no doubt enticing wonga-ed customers to try and find a demarcation point between them, and spend, spend, spend while they are at it! Brilliant!

PS Trafalgar Street is the only street in England where you can drive IN at both ends, but can drive OUT at neither (Guiness Book Of Records)...

If we are going off at a tangent, I read once that there is a crossroads in Reading where a ' road ' a ' street ' an ' avenue ' and a ' lane ' all meet. ( The only instance in England )

The Nelson could fix that sign by just moving that comma from the bottom right of the 's' to the top left.

In fact, I might get a bottle of Tippex and a marker pen and do it for them.

Blimey - never knew that ! A wonderful bit of trivia.

This sign has been up in Brighton since February this year...

The Pond has / had a sign up saying North Laines for many years, too.

Thats what I was going to say, the apostrophe's fallen off.

Language evolves despite the will of some.

If this is the worst things can get in your life, I think you are doing pretty well.

When you walked down the hill from Queens Road that has the back entrance of the North Road Post Office depot a bit further down, I'm sure there was a painted sign high on the corner of a house that said something like, 'The North Laine(s) Conversation Area' (brackets because I can't remember how it was spelt, before getting flamed )...
