Any of you 'orrible lot got any good Pub names..

BTW the header is an actual' and was in Anfield (Liverpool) but they had to change it due to complaints !

No, but I do have this ABSOLUTE BELTER of a road sign, from somewhere in Wiltshire:

No, but it brings to mind an old Max Miller line:

"Is this Cockfosters?"
"The name's Miller, ma'am."

 

[Panter]

We have a "Stumble Inn" just down the road (I assume it's still there, anyway)

There is an 'Old Tats' in Failsworth i believe?

Near here is the village of Ugly and it has Woman's institute which is, yep you've guessed it, The Ugly Woman’s Institute.

Do you mean Ugley?

I don't think Upper Twatt (in Orkney) can be beaten for place names....although Burn Of Twatt (in Shetland) also tickles me....so to speak

I always liked the name "We Three Loggerheads" between Ruthin and Wrecsam but I did a sportive there last year and went in for a pint after the event. I have to say it didn't live up to the great expectations I had of it.

There ar a number of "Black Boy" pubs around here which had pictures of a woman scubbing a black child in a tub.....

Traditional story of a seafarers wife who had been "less than faithful" when her husband was at sea. The offspring was black, hence the scrubbing the child to convince the returning spouse that it was his and concieved during the last shore leave.


There are often complaints about racism, but these are counter argued in that it is a traditional morality tale.
