BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted September 11, 2017 With our Horatio being exposed as an imperialist, and a white supremacist and supporter of the slave-traders the very name of that place disturbs me.After they have pulled down that obscene column in the very centre of London, the owners of that hotel/bar should seriously consider renaming the establishment.Once it is called something less reminiscent of our Country''s imperialist past only then will I consider joining in the pre/post match jollifications. The ''Corbyn Arms'' might be acceptable (and at least Jezza has a full set of those,) although the ''Foot Inn'' would suit me as long as they sold Abbot Ale.Where is SDP when you need him?(AS for that establishment in North Walsham who supposedly taught Nelson all he knew, and who even named a room after him, burn it to the ground.)I see no quips.

lake district canary 4,520 Posted September 11, 2017 They could always rename it back to the Great Eastern Hotel which is what it was before they built the present "modern" but faceless concrete building.....why was that victorian spendour knocked down in the first place?

BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted September 11, 2017 "why was that victorian spendour knocked down in the first place?"You didn''t experience the plumbing then?Turn the hot water tap on and it made a louder roar than any at Carrow Road over the years.Sitting on a radiator for five minutes when the system was booting up gave you a better work-out than any vibrapower machine.

Lord Horn (again) 129 Posted September 11, 2017 Are you getting decrepit in your old age Officer Tilly? I reckon that there are a number of watering holes within 10 minutes walking distance of Carra Rud - Coach & Horses; Fat Cat and Canary; The Jubilee; Compleat Angler and ''Spoons'' at my reckoning (and at my pace!!!)
