Prize goes to owl lady. We went on a drive through the Wolds yesterday. I knew about the village of Mavis Enderby already, I live not too far from it. But we passed a pub called The Man with a Moustache which is one of the strangest names for a pub ever, and then through a village with a Fanny Hands Lane - needless to say that gave me pause for thought..... We were tempted to pause the engine.......
I thought this was going to be a funny pub name thread so remembered:....
In the sleepy village of Erbum near a town of Tillet in Hertfordshire lives a woman called Lucy Lykes. She is the landlady of the local pub... The Cock Inn.
When she gets any mail its adressed to...
Lucy Lykes,
The Cock Inn,
Erbum,
Tillet,
Herts.
Nah - these are real names mcm. There obviously was a real Fanny Hands. Gawd knows who the man with the moustache was though - he looked like a WW1 fighter pilot.
I dont think I live too far from you sallabananas I have seen the sign for Mavis Enderby on the way to the coast and guessed the others had to be in the Wolds
