What's wrong with it

Barkley, Hunt was very close to Berkshire Hunt. Where the term berk comes from and a rhyming slang for the c-u-next-tuesday acronym (of sorts).

I think it's Berkley Hunt rather than Berkshire Hunt.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Hunt

"The Old Berkeley Hunt developed a large following among the prosperous London middle classes:
The English slang word "berk" is a contraction of "Berkeley Hunt", which in turn refers to the English vulgarity "****" (The usage is dated to the 1930s). It is an example of Cockney rhyming slang. The "berk" in Berkeley is pronounced /ˈbɑrk/, but in Cockney it is pronounced "Burk". "
