Wallace and Gromit spook island

`Posters for the new Wallace and Gromit film in a south coast town will not feature the word “rabbit” because of a local superstition.

Because burrowing can cause landslips in quarries, residents of Portland, Dorset, instead call the creatures underground mutton or furry things.

Posters for the new film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, on Portland do not use the word, to respect local folklore.

Instead they simply say “Something bunny is going on”.’
