        You inspired me to do a search. there are currently NO roads in the UK that are named after Lady Diana.

        edit = Someone found one street. I abase myself

          Perhaps not that surprising, considering the nature of her death…?

            I hadn’t considered that.

          Diana’s Drove is named after her. Look at the nearby street names. It’s in the next town north from the royal estate at Sandringham.

          Edit: this is the first one I found. I’m pretty sure there are more.

            I stand corrected.

          Princess Diana Drive as well, built shortly after she died I recall, it was a bit controversial.

            As a previous commenter pointed out, getting into a traffic accident on Lady Diana Drive would be a bit on the nose.

            Like getting killed by a Mansfield bar.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
