Thread Name: BS: Pub Names
Subject: RE: BS: Pub Names
Just next to my office there is a pub called the 'Goat and Boots'... no-one knows why. It should really be called something like the 'Tax Man and Courier' because that's almost exclusively the clientele now that the building next door is finished.

I've always wondered about the 'Greenman and French Horn' off Trafalgar Square - although the addition of the greenman is only a hundred or so years old.... up until at least Waterloo (1814ish) it was just the 'French Horn' or more popularly - 'the Frogs' Prick'.
