November 28 - Name Change

November 28, 2020 • Leave a Comment

I recently received a news item from Sean O'Hagan about an Austrian village deciding to change its name.

T_11_0107 This is the village, near the border with Germany, which we visited a few years ago.

The villagers, known as Fuckingers, have had enough of the bad jokes about its name, and the repeated theft of its signs, so that these had to be anchored in concrete.

As of January 1, the village will be known as Fugging.

Probably the next thing you'll be hearing is that the village of Dildo, Newfoundland, will want to change its name.

Maybe they can do the same and name it Ditto (pun intended), or name it after the singer and call it Dido.
