AUSTRIANS NOT AMUSED
 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.
While British visitors are finding it hilarious, the residents of F*cking are failing to see the funny side.
Only one kind of criminal 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.
But the local authorities are hitting back and with the signs now set in concrete, police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger is on the lookout.
"We will not stand for the F*cking signs being removed," the officer said "It may be very amusing for you British, but F*cking is simply F*cking to us. What is this big F*cking joke? It is puerile"
Local tourist guide Andrei Rehmueller said, “It was only the British that had a fixation with F*cking.”
"The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg." he explained.
"Every American seems to care only about The Sound of Music; 1965 film shot around Salzburg).
The occasional Japanese wants to ace Hitler's birthplace in Braunau.
"But for the British, its all about F*cking."
Guesthouse manager August, in a Lindlbauer described the village's breathtaking lakes, forests and vistas.
"Yet still there is this obsession with F*cking."
She said. "Just this morning I had to tell an English lady who stopped by that there were no F*cking postcards."
