Pious vandals deface road sign

Residents living in a graffiti-plagued village on Merseyside are being asked to consider changing its name to tackle religious vandals who alter signs in the village.

Lunt, which dates back to Medieval times, has been repeatedly targeted by churchgoers who change the "u" to an "e". One suggestion is to change it to Launt. However, some villagers are defiant at the thought of giving in to the vandals.

One unnamed agnostic said: "This village is very, very old and people don't want the name changed. "The vandalism has been done for years, it's not children who are doing it. Personally, I suspect the vicar. At the end of the day we live in Lunt and we don't want to forgo sweets or swearing all year.”

Oh it’s the “L” they change? I’m shocked and stunned....
