What's in a name.

My eye was drawn to a report in the paper about Royal Mail giving notice that they are stopping making deliveries to a small hamlet in Yorkshire because the access road to it is too narrow and too steep. It's always been that narrow and steep, so what's changed? Needless to say, the excuse given is "health and safety". Pathetic - but what really caught my attention was the name of the affected place - can there really be a village called Booze? - and apparently it has no pub!
