The residents of Fucking, a village in Austria, have voted to retain the name of their 800 year old settlement despite sniggering Brits making off with its roadsigns. Mayor Siegfried Hauppl explained: “We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is. After all, Fucking has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr Fuck or the Fuck family moved into the area. We reckon that Fucking has been around a lot longer than 800 years, otherwise there wouldn’t have been any Fucks to lend their name to the village in the first place, would there?”Source: The Register
