A lot of you probably saw this report in yesterday's news, but we thought it interesting (if not highly amusing), so thought we'd share the report from MSN again.....

"Streets with rude-sounding names like Crotch Crescent, Turkey Cock Lane, Bell End and The Knob could turn out to be a haven for property hunters looking to snap up a bargain, research suggests.

The study for website NeedaProperty.com looked for evidence of what impact living in a street with a suggestive name could have on the value of your home. Properties on streets with innuendo-laden names were found to be around one fifth or £84,000 cheaper on average than other homes situated nearby.

Researchers asked 2,000 people to vote for the street name that they would be most embarrassed to have as their address from a long list and the top 15 were used for the study.

NeedaProperty.com commissioned a statistician to compare property prices in the 15 rude-sounding streets with homes situated on all other streets within a one quarter of a mile radius, using Land Registry sales figures.

Here are the top 10 streets in order of those which people voted as having the most embarrassing names, with the percentage of people who voted each name as embarrassing followed by the price of a property on the street and an example of the price of a similar property nearby:
