I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

    Ditto every street name in Wales.

    You should come to Aberdare, most of our street names are simple English words 🙈

      Aberdare

      I admit I was making a poorly informed guess about street names in Wales.

      Wales came to mind as NZ’s currently rolling out bi-lingual road signs. Wales is held up as a model of successful deployment. A certain demographic are unhappy about this.

        It’s all good. It just made me laugh when I was reading your post, surrounded by streets with names like Brook Street, George Street, Market Street, Wind Street, and Hill Street :D

        Oh, and ignore the whiners. Our national park just changed its name from The Brecon Beacons to Bannau Brecheiniog, and I had an English woman telling me that it was discriminatory to a Welsh man she knows who can’t speak Welsh…
