Busticle Lane, Sompting.

I like the sound of it and I think whomever thought it up put some tits and testicle's together to get Busticle. [emoji3]

EDIT: I thought I would google the name and this is in the urban dictionary.

TOP DEFINITION

busticle

Used as an exclamation. Can be used in suprise, or in excitement. Is usually used when referring to something happening to someone else, as in a put-down.
From the phrase "Oh Bust!" which was used when one party would verbally*bust on*another and the bystander would say "Oh Bust". It has morphed from "Oh Bust" to "Oh Bus" to "Bus" to "Busticle", or "Oh Busticle".

Cumwell Lane, Rotherham
In the country, several lay-bys, so it (probably) does what it says on the tin!

 

[zefarelly]

Nothing odd in Shoreham, most road names off the river are factual names . . . . I always thought 'lesser foxholes' was a daft name . . . . A 70's cul de sac on the side of Mill Hill.

 

[Cian]

Misery Hill

 

[Lady Whistledown]

There is a Brown Twins Road in Hurstpierpoint.

Which sounds like one of those very old fashioned, casually racist names that would be changed now (it's not: it's named after two worthy old chaps called Brown who lived in the village for years).

The parish council have a habit of naming all their new streets after ancient ex residents, which means you get new builds in places like Mildred Miggins Close and Wilfred Twatterly Mews.

Not street names, but can I claim a couple of hills up here called Great Cockup and Little Cockup - just up the road from Shatton Hall?
