About five years ago I had an early Garmin GPS system which showed the names of roads on bridges above the road I was driving on. And so I came across Bad Bargain Lane (although I never drove on it) above the A64 in North Yorkshire. Apparently there are two such named roads in North Yorkshire, acrazy name, I thought.

But last month (in West Yorkshire) I came across the most ridiculously named road ever: Long Tongue Scrog Lane, in Kirkheaton.

Unless you know different.
