Bosun11 537 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Bosun what have they renamed the Doric in seaforth The Cock and Seaman...! Which does make me smile but historically and locally, it should always be the Doric. Degsy, i know that pubs have changed their names since there were first pubs but in this day an age, there still are some ancient names knocking about. The building may change but the name should always remain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 On a lighter note, I drive past a pub in the sticks called the Roebuck. Which happens to have a silhouetted sign of a... Red stag. Who put these people in charge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
