Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

I see Nob End is listed but I thought there was a Knob End within cycling distance of here, possibly in Hertfordshire.

Good to see Bell End in top position.
I used to ride through Bell End quite often with Beacon RCC but never saw an actual sign.  It does appear on an OS map, though.

I'm indebted to mattc for pointing out the truly obscene Cumnor Rise Road (say it quickly) in Oxford.

If you say it quickly in Cambridge it sounds just as rude.
