A quick glance at the local OS map shows me a street name that anyone in the
town would know was wrong (Crawborough Road, should be simply Crawborough)
and another that anyone with a rudimentary grasp of basic English would know
was wrong ("Grammer School Hill" - clearly nigel molesworth is alive and
well and working in Southampton). A few miles further afield there's a whole
misspelt hamlet. I wouldn't trust the OS's names as far as I could throw
Vanessa Lawrence.

Of course, here in Charlbury we correct the street signs too. The council
also initially put up a street sign saying "Crawborough Road". After
application of black marker pen it no longer says that. :)
