Tee heh!
Something for the weekend my loyal readers.
Nanny's word police (ie the council) in Castleford, West Yorkshire, have come a cropper when they tried to rename Tickle Cock Bridge (a railway underpass traditionally used by courting couples to do their "courting") to "Tittle Cott Bridge".
The council erected (can I say "erected"?) a plaque bearing the new title.
Being a council they of course did not bother consulting the locals.
Quel surprise, the locals didn't like it. Castleford Area Voice for the Elderly called a public meeting which voted for a return to the old name.
The name was restored.
I raise my glass to Tickle Cock Bridge and all who canoodle under it!
Have it large this weekend everyone!

Excellent. I thought it particularly amusing that it was the old folks who objected most strongly!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, old folks of Castleford. :)
Is this the first spark of the fight back to sanity in this country?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun place....

ReplyDeleteGood on the people of Castleford ...
If anyone cares to look at an OS map of Bolton, you will notice a small rock outcrop called "Nob End" which is a popular destination for students studying geology.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this can be twinned with Tickling Cock, and both councils can provide roadside signs??
