It's the exact same mindset responsible for it though, when the names are like those in the article. vaskidmark is right that they're throwing away years of history because some noodleheads can't stop giggling when they see Hoare or Juggs road.
I guess so. I'm just tired of the words "political correctness" being thrown around until the term is meaningless, and no one knows what it means anymore. It's got so, if you object to obvious racial slurs, you're being PC.
But I thought the article said it only affected new names, not names with "years of history."
What's the deal with Cockshut lane, though? Unless something's lost in translation, that is a real stretch. It's about as annoying as those simpletons who refuse to read "ass" aloud, even if it's in the King James Bible, and it refers to a donkey.
