"In an attempt to curtail the fun had at the village’s expense some locals want to readopt its 16th-Century spelling and replace the “ck” with a single or double “g”

Personally I think they should change the U to an E.

They should (and will) definitely stick to that name.
Sometimes I feel this village is even more famous than Vienna! :lol:
