Welcome to LUNT: vandals lack imagination
Residents of a an unfortunately named village are being plagued by vandals who graffiti the sign 'Welcome to Lunt' - guess what they keep changing it to.Fed up with seeing an offensive word as they return home locals have now started a campaign to change the name of the village.
Suggestions for the new name include Launt which would be pronounced the same and stop the yobs who repeatedly change the L to a C.
Lunt was first documented in 1251 when it was referred to as 'du Lunt.'
According to the New Oxford Dictionary, the offending word is Middle English, of Germanic origin, and is offensive slang for female genitalia or an unpleasant or stupid person.
