There was a young lady from Lunt...

There is a town in Southern Germany called W A N K and they get sick of us Brits stealing the entry sign year after year.

I think you are thinking of the Austrian village of F U C K I N G which keeps losing its sign.
The locals of W A N K are quite relaxed, they even wear shirts with "ich bin ein W A N K E R" writ large upon them.

Not far from there's Tittisee and Wankdorf...(BTW, dorf, if you say it with a dialect sounds like doof which means stupid so basically the people there msut be shaking hands with the one eyed trouser snake something stupidly...)

There's a small village (actually smaller than a village) just outside of Ingatestone, near Fryerning, which is called Beggar Hill. Oh what a laugh we had as youngsters by changing the 'e' to a 'u'.

Surround the sign with barbed wire ? Or an armed guard ? Remove the sign ?
Shorten the sign so that there is no space to write an additional C ?

[TimberWolf]

I think it's a good idea. Just change the L to a C officially and there will be no need for graffiti in the first place. I think that the town would become much more popular too

Trouble is the old people would just graffiti the C back into an L. I propose clunt , or maybe dussy or danny.

Can't they just use that plastic that it's not possible to write on ?

Paint just falls off, ISTR.

wouldn't they just glue something on? or etch it in?

they always find a way round.

If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

"Chanlunttho" ?

Hmm, might work, although it would be more suitable for a village in Wales or maybe Cornwall.

Yes, and it would cause all sorts of problems with online regsitration for stuff.
You would end up living in ****.
