There's a village called Beckley in East Sussex (not far from Rye). Some years ago, fed up with all the gossip and rumour that was rife in the village, particularly in the local pub, an anonymous local had a realistic road sign made. The correct, official sign was taken down at dead of night, and replaced by his version, which read:

BECKLEY

TWINNED WITH PLUTO

Pluto, of course, being a gas giant... I only wish I'd had my camera with me when I first saw it. It was there for some weeks before the local council could get round to putting a correct sign back!
