    Boom! 90's bar. Just for the fact that no one has ever dared make a 90's themed pub before.

    Raffles..

    Admitantly not that funny. However moons ago when someone drove a car through it the boardings had the graffiti of 'Raffles Drive through' on it, and i still titter every time i circle the roundabout.

    I think I read some where that the Queens Arms is the most common in England, or was it the Golden Lion.. Google!



    ---

    Pubs have the names they do because King Richard II passed an Act making it compulsory for pubs and inns to have a sign in order to identify them to the official Ale Taster. (about 1400 AD)..

    same site reckons the Crown is the most common (discounting weatherspoons)

    Wish I had had google years ago when I loved speed!
