I think they are right not to give in to the Vandals, Couldnt they put the roadsign higher up and out of reach.

I agree - its ridiculous that this is the prevailing attitude in this country.

Just send all the local cops away on a training course and have the locals stake out the sign.

A good kicking should stop the vandals from re-offending

Indeed - or more creative use of the aerosol can. Make a well known phrase from the following can, sun, stick, don't, their, shine, where

Used to have the same problem around here with vandals, little village near us called Gastard used to get changed on a regular basis.

And no it's not one of my jokes it's true :D

Aww I thought this was going to be a thread about actual daft names! Boooooooooooooring! :D

[Kate Moss]

cant they just put cctv in place?

[missyburd]

I wonder if Sc#nthorpe has the same problems?

[Viney]

I found the story funny.

Am i wrong?

Just think how many times that they have to repeat the place name on the phone, especially to our overseas call centres :)

I reckon and exploding sign as the paint hits it is a better option :)

True this. I used to have a client called Mr B@stard. At first I called him 'Mr Ba-stard' and he replied 'for God's sake, the name's B@stard'. I guess he got fed up with people sniggering.
