Not an AIBU, just a little lighthearted thread. Was reading my latest book and this question popped into my head, although I'm stumped trying to conjure up a quirky name. So whilst i think of mine...

If you could name a pub, whether in real life or fictional, what would you name it?

The Canny Lass. So many named after men, time to redress the balance.

The Hobgoblin was one of my favourites. I used to walk past it singing (in my head) "Hobgoblin nor foul fiend, shall daunt my spirit".

Although if I had one I'd probably go for "Dew Drop Inn" (Do drop In) from The Family from One End Street.

As a kid, I wanted to have a pub called ‘The Legless Centipede’ to annoy anyone playing Sign Cricket and also for the drunk / legless word play.

The Cat and Custard Pot, because I am told a distant relative did in the past run a pub of that name.

The Rest and be Thankful after the road that's closed most of the winter. 😂

Mine will be The Glass and Postcard because it's how you catch spiders (you don't stamp on them,vacuum them or burn the house down )?

MagnoliaTreeBlossom · 06/04/2025 00:22

The Coorie Inn
It would be a cosy wee pub with an open fire and a food menu of home cooked family favourites.
