Current BT campaign and "rude" Irish Placenames

[Westbound]

A few years ago (the last time I had to drive there) there was a temporary sign for the local Tedcastles petrol station on the roundabout 'Top Muff' and a little arrow pointing to said village!

That brings me back. I worked for a time in that twin municipality of Bloomington-Normal. While in there I stayed in Normal and worked in Bloomington, although we referred to it as not-Normal.
