Villagers Opt to Keep Cowshit Lane Friday May 12 9:06 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com LONDON (Reuters) - It is not the sort of address most people would want but a group of English villagers has turned down a proposal to rename Cowshit Lane. The name stirred controversy when the village of Golant in southwest England decided to have a map drawn up for visitors. ``I live there and I have no objection to the name,'' local council chairman Alistair Barr was quoted as saying by the Times newspaper Friday. ``Some others have suggested renaming it Cowslip Lane, which I don't agree with.'' Douglas Cooper, Barr's predecessor as chairman, staid: ``I only wish I lived there because I could put it on my headed notepaper.''
