Subject: RE: Folklore: Odd pub names
The Jug and Bottle near Grimsby. Not a particularly odd name, but an interesting history. The pub is built on part of a former RAF heavy bomber base and the particular spot was the dispersal/parking area for a Lancaster bomber which bore the name 'J-Jug and bottle'.
