Thinking shit... I think I may of mentioned this before but when I lived in Llandudno, North Wales, there was a little area affectionately called "Bog Island" by the locals. It was a strip of ground in the middle of the roads where the public toilets were. The council have since changes the traffic system so it is no longer an island, prettied it up and given signs with its "proper" name (North West Gardens I think) but I think it will always be "Bog Island" to the locals.
