Ha! Sorry ironsky, you've just touched on one of my biggest complaints - the renaming of old pubs.
I hate it when some old boozer gets renamed the Parrot and Cheese Grater, or Boozahs, or some other such name.
If the Royal Oak, or whatever, has been good enough for the pub since the 18th century, it's good enough for now.
To me that's like killing, or at best seriously injuring, our town's heritage.
