[Schantieman, the Throstle's Nest has been on Scottie Rd in Liverpool for a very long time (a throstle being a thrush). It became One Flew Over the Throstle's Nest when a certain film became popular- just can't think of the name of the film...]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. That in turn comes from an old children's rhyme...all I can recall is the last verse " one flew east and one flew west and one flew over the cuckoo's nest! "

Friend of mine came up with The Lusty Chicken as a good inn/pub name for something he's writing {O)
