  LONDON (Reuters) - A British couple have been forced to move house because of the shame caused by the name of their street -- Butt Hole Road.
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Paul and Lisa Allott sold their $250,000 bungalow, fed up with the constant leg-pulling.
  

  
  

  Taxis and pizza delivery men would fail to turn up, thinking their order was just a prank, and they grew tired with groups of youths posing for photos by the nearby street sign with their buttocks bared.
  

  
  

  Attempts by Reuters to contact the new residents were unsuccessful -- they have taken a confidential telephone number.
