SPOTTED DICK
On the trains today going through the English countryside. These are some of the names of the places I am traveling thru:
Wanking
Shaftsbury
East Dorking
Slopsbury
Screwing
St. Screamsbury
Blowing
Wadsworth
I had lunch in a pub called The Cock and Pussy - the pub sign was a painting of a rooster fighting a cat, I kid you not. The guy at the next table over said to the waittress, "I'm having Spotted Dick. I know I'll regret it tomorrow, but I've earned it."
Whatever floats your boat, Mister. I don't have Spotted Dick, I don't ever want to have it, and I REALLY don't wanna know whatever it was you did to EARN Spotted Dick. I mean, REALLY people - "Too Much Information!"
. . . OK too much time on my hands . . . here's some street names in various towns found throughout England:
Find Bush Lane
Sandy Balls
Hornyold Rd
Fingringhoe
Shitterton
Hole of Horcum
Fanny Hands Lane
Cockshoot Close
Crotch Crescent
Cumming Court
Cocknmouth Close
Rimswell
Spanker Lane
Beaver Close
Dick Court
Lickfold Close
My favorite is Beaver Close . . . Today's Bird HERE- STORMBRINGER SENDS

An Old Speckled Hen is popular and would have been appropriate.

Also might think about adding some Grace Spicy Cock soup to go with it.
Did a trip to the UK exactly a year ago. We passed a street in Dorset called "Butt Farm Close" that might compliment your street name list.
