    There's a Mincing Street or similar near the Aprilia dealer I used to
    use in Manchester. Not to mention "Back Acton Street", "South Pump
    Street" and the famous "Canal Street" - two of those got regular
    amendments to the names.

    Houses opposite my parents' old gaff used to be a pub called the
    Queen's Head. It was split up into Queens Head Cottages, and a pair of
    semi-detached other cottages called Old Queens.

    A pair of charming elderly woolly-woofters bought No.2 simply because
    it gave them the address 2 Old Queens.
