There used to be a mechanical clown in a glass case on Southend sea front
scared the fucking life out of me as a kid. This reminds me of it for some reason.

there was one outside blackpool funhouse, too
when the funhouse burned down, that fucking clown was the only thing that survived the fire :(

it's marketing genius!
everyone is calling it disgusting and saying they should change it back. all this means is that the new owners are getting all the free publicity they could possibly want!

My band stopped by for a pint at the Fighting Cocks, north of London
had no problem with the name back then (20 years ago now...) The place even made our national news recently.

A pub near me used to be called the "Oily Johnnies "
The locals were upset when it was renamed " Oilys "

I blame gentrification. Was it previously called the Spamdagger and Knobjuice?

Not many people remember the stories of King Spamdagger and his faithful servant Knobjuice.
There are still a few pubs named after them, but as you say they're getting rarer now.
Of course Blackadder The Third was roughly based on some of their history.

I ordered a roll of bubble wrap off eBay.
I noticed the guy from Herpes come down my drive with said roll, and I nipped out and asked him to pop it in the garage for me, (the garage door was open).
I came out two hours later and he was still in the garage popping it !
