It does appear to be a bit pathetic, changing the name after 400 yrs. Nobody knows for sure, how it got its name, but hey, lets change it anyway. Its the “In” thing to do.
If the locals are anything like TLG, they'll boycott it now. He doesn't like owners messing about with tradition.

Thanks for the name-check, it's always nice to get a mention from one of my many fans, but to be honest I couldn't give a **** about pub names. They change all the time. Indeed, my local changed its name in order to appear a bit more traditional. The amended name made it sound a bit more naff, but then its name had always sounded naff anyway.

Imagine being upset about a pub you're never visited changing its name. Strange times indeed.
