I've been in the Lamb and Flag, but I can't for the life of me remember where it is, and I used to go in the Union Flag in Maidstone.......they'll be picketed by antifa's now, I should think !

neil cooney 10,415 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 One of the years we were over for the Waterloo Cup we were to meet some friends in The Queens Arms in Ormskirk but we couldn't find it. Being a bit drunk I asked a very pretty girl who we met on a street "could you direct me to the Queens Legs please ?" "They're under her arse" she said. Fair play to her she walked us to the pub. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
