The foliage on an unusually-named street is getting some well-needed trimming, and people can’t contain their laughter.

Worcestershire County Council announced the street’s spruce-up in a post on X, formally known as Twitter, earlier this week, letting residents know about the planned maintenance work.

Minge Lane in the Worcestershire town Upton-upon-Severn was named as one of the rudest street names in Britain. And now it’s getting a make-over, much to the amusement of locals.

The council wrote: “Tree maintenance works today at Minge Lane, Upton-upon-Severn” on their Worcs County Council Highways & Travel account. Although the council intended for the message to be innocent and factual, it wasn’t quite taken that way.

The comment section was quickly flooded with jokes and comments, as one Twitter user jibed: “I hope they don’t fanny around.” Another quick-witted commenter said: “Never mind the trees have you seen the state of the bush!” as well as one thinking the maintenance work was well overdue: “I’ve always thought it could use a trim.”

The UK has a range of funny and questionably rude road names – including Butthole Lane and Fannyfield. But one village’s name is so rude they have decided to take action in a bid to stop people from coming to steal its sign.

Shitterton, a hamlet in Dorset, often makes the list of rudest place names in the UK, and as such often have people travelling just to see what it’s like and take a picture of its sign. But in 2010, the hamlet’s residents grew so fed up with their sign being stolen that they put a stone version up instead.

In another clip, Justin sings the song everyone’s been waiting for — “Selfish” — while his face is dripping with sweat. Justin ended the show by thanking the Tennessee crowd and waving goodbye before walking offstage. At the end of the concert, Justin’s camp posted a trailer for his sixth album, which was narrated by actor Benicio Del Toro . Just a little background … speculation had run rampant recently that Justin was about to drop some fresh tuneage before he announced last week the Orpheum concert, which he dubbed, “One Night Only.” Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
