Thread Name: Black Swan change of name
Subject: RE: Black Swan change of name
The George is/was in Aldershot, Hampshire.The local history suggests that George the somethingth ( sorry, crap at numbers and history)was directly responsible for the build up of troops and for spotting it's potential as a military training ground, hence the pub name.This is vandalism of the worst kind as far as I am concerned and all for lager swilling, or barcardi breezer guzzling louts who wouldn't appreciate a decent pint if you dressed it up with an umbrella and stuck a cherry in it...you might have noticed this topic pushes a few of my unhappy buttons.
