Mort - The Frog and Nightgown was invented by that great british comic Tony Hancock !Commic names are all very well but I think there is more in historical names, and finding out why.
For that I give you the "Blazing Donkey" at Margate (Kent), or the "Flying Machine" at Birdlip (Glous'), or even better the "Good Intent" at Gillingham (Kent).
Incidently the "Long Reach" at Whitstable (Kent) was built on the site of the Town Gallows/Gibbet. - But I don't think that apt name was what the Brewery management intended.
