Black Boy

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Did the naming a pub or erecting a statue in the first place change history?

[BLUETIT]

That reminds me of the people who keep slagging off anti-fascists...

What's the opposite of an anti-fascist?

Uncle-fascist

Get Cilla off the jukebox and stop kids reading Black Beauty !!!

Worlds gone mad !!!!

[Hungry Blue]

The 400 year old pub is still there, pubs change names all the time, but is this really what BLM have been fighting for? I'm sure things like this are not high on their agenda.

I can't believe what's going on in this great country of ours! .... and stop playing music I don't like on radio stations I never listen to. My life is never going to be the same again!

If it's (c)rap and grime then I'm all up for that

[xsnaggle]

shouldnt mention the black cock inn i guess

That is both racist and sexist!! burn it down!
Oh hang on, that's owned by the Landlord of my local. If it burns he might put my beer up!!!

save the black cock!!! Save the Black cock!!!

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

It’s called The Royal India now Sludge. Restaurant and Takeaway.

My kind of vibe

[Trigger]

Bandwagon jumping now. Everyone needs to be seen to be doing something even if really nothing is being done.

Just asking but what do you think rap and grime are?

Historic 400-year-old pub called The Black Boy is set to be renamed in wake of Black Lives Matter protests and will be rebranded as The Restoration in nod to King Charles II....


Ye gods....you cannot delete history.....this is getting absurd.

There is nothing wrong with revising history and reframing history with a more Enlighted view. That's healthy. Plus, the renaming of the pub will also form a part of history. History is there for revision and interpretation.

I'm still fuming about the Spastics Society changing its' name to Scope. PC gone mad!

[splott parker]

I heard they’re renaming the Ivor Davies, the Ivor Novello has been mentioned. Nobody ever thought of that name change before

[Mr Soul '68]

Just asking but what do you think rap and grime are?

Errrr...off the top of my head I'd say both were extremely weak attempt at making music (pretty much the same as 'thrash'). Neither genres to me (and it is only myself that I am speaking on behalf of, of course) sound anywhere near musical enough to grab my attention.

The Rap and Grime? Is that that new pub in St Mary St?

[ToTaL ITK]

34 years later and I still don't know the difference between the two. Fuming though! Removing history, homes!

Few more years and you’ll know the difference between rap and a hip op Tom.

Sooner that I'd like, mate

So when I went to hip hop concerts and festivals, old people were going for hip op surgeries? How different things are for the age groups!

Stupid name for a pub anyway?

[xsnaggle]

Stupid name for a pub anyway?

I know a few unusual ones;
Tigers Head and Tigers Tail: 2 pubs on opposite sides of a junction in Lewisham. alwayus made me wonder which was there first!
Ship and Shovel on the A13: A street corner pub of what used to be rows of terraced houses (bit like strangetown) now all that's left is the pub in the middle of nowhere
Cow and Snuffers
The Ely: only because it was in Salisbury road
Frog and Nightgown: On the Old Kent Road, used to have a licence till 3 Am when pubs normally closed at 11 PM
The Moon under water: Leicester Square. (Several Wetherspoon pubs in London have moon references.)
The Half moon: Bow Road East End. roughly half way between two other pubs The full moon and the New moon. (Spoons pub but the other 2 aren't)
The knights Templar: Fleet St
The Beaten Docket: Belfast (Losing betting slip)

I'm sure there are lots more if I could only think of them.

I never noticed that the Half Moon was called that because if the Full Moon and the New Moon. Never thought I would find a fact about one of my locals on this website
