I normally don't give the Daily Mail the time of day, but this article just HAD to be shared XD

A magic idea: Town uses Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld as inspiration for street names

Seriously - how could that NOT catch my attention? Brilliant, effing brilliant XD

Author Sir Terry Pratchett will reveal Discworld-inspired road names today at a new housing estate in the town linked to the imaginary world.

Peach Pie Street and Treacle Mine Road are among the list named after the comic fantasy series of novels at the Kingwell Rise development in Wincanton, Somerset.

Sir Terry will visit the town today to unveil the road names and is expected to be greeted by hundreds of Discworld fans, many in costume, at housebuilder George Wimpey's offices.

Discuss and enjoy! ^^

That's pretty damn cool.

So, I guess the UK has run out of meaningful ideas for street names?

I think it's pretty cool. They have to think up street names anyway, so why not draw inspiration from any popular work of fiction? I mean.. what is meaningful anyway, naming streets after dead poets? Or minerals? Planets? Or, god forbid, royal family members?

Not that it matters much what your street is called ofcourse...
