    And there’s a Slugwash Lane that always made me wonder how it got named. I can’t imagine any scenario that involves washing slugs.

    Past a Slag Lane this week and the wife commented that it would be embarrassing to tell anyone where you lived !

    Probably in Beaver Creek. Ski resort.
    Funny enough it had more than its fair share of attractive ladies.
    There’s also a knicker tree next to a chair lift on which ladies evidently like to flick their knickers.
    I’m sure the name isn’t related to this at all though.
