Subject: RE: Name That Pub (Bar)
Hey! I didn't know that McGraw! That must date back some years.

We were taught at school that the pub name "The Bush" originated from the practice of putting a branch or shrub on the top of the highest point of a building while it was being built. A practice which you still see today in places. They didn't mention the double entendre though.
I had to wait 'till I was grown enough to learn that.
