Although at least it's not something terrible like the Slug and Lettuce or whatever those pubs are called. <br /><br />There used to be two in Camden called the Old Mother Red Cap and the Mother Black Cap. Both were real old women who lived in the area and each had something unusual about them, I forget what. They now have banal names.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-72825263248999944202012-07-31T20:24:43.254+01:002012-07-31T20:24:43.254+01:00Glad to hear that the lad returned from his travel...Glad to hear that the lad returned from his travels, safe and sound.

On Sunday my heart sank, as over the past year or so I'd been watching a Prince Albert stand unoccupied, then be done up (and I thought thank heavens they're not demolishing it) only to be renamed 'China Lodge'.Lisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562101358640638937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-11645567009519452832012-07-31T05:06:17.952+01:002012-07-31T05:06:17.952+01:00It's already been two months?!

It has a nice ring to it.<br /><br />The pub renaming reminds me of developers who tear down all the trees for a housing development and then name it after whatever they destroyed: Cedar Heights etc.<br />Sigh.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-10858514889840949282012-07-31T01:30:59.159+01:002012-07-31T01:30:59.159+01:00Great story!

Perhaps the new owners are Shackleton fans. That doesn't forgive them (although I am a big Shackleton fan myself), it only offers one possible explanation. It's a great photo.
