Toilet humour has returned to a Kent street - just days after a road sign was replaced.

Vandals have once again targeted Poorhole Lane in Broadstairs, using tape to cover up the ‘R’.

Some residents believe it will always be known by its ruder name.

A picture of the latest prank was posted on social media by Niki Kallis, who says the signs at both ends of the street have been altered.

One resident called Polly Anna said: “I'm 60 now, lived here my whole life, it has always been Poo Hole Lane.

“I've introduced my children and my grandchildren [to it] and it will always be known as such. It's a bit of harmless fun, still makes me smile., Someday I may even carry a bit of white tape.”

“Easier just to change it permanently to Poohole,” added Helen Hoose.

Not everyone was impressed though, with some noting the reason for the original name was due to its status as a mass grave for the poor in the 17th century.

It’s not the first time vandals have targeted street furniture in the county.

In 2020, the Welcome to Kent signs had the word garden replaced with toilet so the slogan read “the toilet of England”, an anti-Brexit prank which saw police get involved.

Nearly 30 were altered by EU Flag Mafia, in what they described as a "military operation" using stuck-on pieces of paper.

Earlier this year, mystery pranksters who returned the Welcome to Appledore sign near Ashford drew laughs from villagers after screwing it on upside down.
