... what's all this then?

I had to chuckle at the fact that the South Yorkshire Police HQ is in the very appropriately named Letsby Avenue - https://directmap.org.uk/sheffield/27405

The name was allegedly put on the plans as a joke after a designer noticed the police HQ was going to be there, and nobody noticed/objected so it went through.

In Plymouth a now retired planner called Dave Sendall wrote "Sendall's Way" on the plan for an estate access road, and it just kept the name. We tried to sneak a few in on the Cranbrook and Sherford developments in Devon but were spotted.
