Cos it's the road wot goes to Hagley!
All the main roads tend to get referred to like that round here - 'The Pershore Road', 'The Bristol Road', 'The Alcester Road' etc etc. Makes sense to me, unlike the whole 'barm cake/breadcake debate which follows no logic at all
I used to work in Rotherham and Sheffield a lot, and nipping into Greggs and trying to order a bloody sandwich at lunchtime was a lot more complicated than it really should have been...Shooms

^^^ What he said
Did make me laugh when you posted that Teece - not thought about it before
Also inbreds who call Alcester 'All sess ter' should be shot - everyone knows it's pronounced 'Ulster'
Did make me laugh when you posted that Teece - not thought about it before
but its true though isn't it!? they DO say that!
Doesn't make it right though does it
dont know about the others really, for some reason I've only noticed it for The Hagley Road (see, even got me doing it now..)
