\nBrits driving Austrians bonkers over rude village name<\/b> <\/p>\n LONDON, (AFP) – British tourists have left the residents of one charming Austrian village effing and blinding by constantly stealing the signs for their oddly-named village. <\/p>\n While British visitors are finding it hilarious, the residents of F—ing are failing to see the funny side, The Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Only one kind of crimimal ever stalks the sleepy 32-house village near Salzburg on the German border — cheeky British tourists armed with a sense of humour and a screwdriver.<\/p>\n But the local authorities are hitting back and with the signs now set in concrete, police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger is on the lookout.<\/p>\n “We will not stand for the F—ing signs being removed,” the officer told the broadsheet.<\/p>\n “It may be very amusing for you British, but F—ing is simply F—ing to us. What is this big F—ing joke? It is puerile.”<\/p>\n Local guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with F—ing.<\/p>\n “The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg,” he explained.<\/p>\n “Every American seems to care only about 'The Sound of Music' (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg). The occasional Japanese wants to see Hitler's birthplace in Braunau.<\/p>\n “But for the British, it's all about F—ing.”<\/p>\n Guesthouse boss Augustina Lindlbauer described the village's breathtaking lakes, forests and vistas.<\/p>\n “Yet still there is this obsession with F—ing,” she said.<\/p>\n “Just this morning I had to tell an English lady who stopped by that there were no F—ing postcards.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Source: Yahoo! news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With all that's been going on — my family, hurricane Katrina, gas prices going up and so on, I think it's time for us to take a break and have a little laugh. <\/p>\n Here you go, as posted on Yahoo!
