Could you win in a fight against it?
The Plume of feathers I reckon I could just about handle, but The Robin Hood? That notorious armed villain? Id be stuffed.
The Swan - I fancy my chances, I don't believe they'd actually break your arm although I reckon I'd be a bit squeamish inevitably breaking most of it's bones clumsily in a scrap before actually getting to it's neck.
The Black Boy - no chance if a horse, 50/50 if just racist.
Magpie and parrot - depends, tag team or two on one?
Just Lord Devonshire's arms. If it's just those flailing about then I reckon I could take him.
I don't fancy being stuffed by the three cocks
No chance.

The Squinting Cat so I should stand a chance seeing as it can't even see properly.
The Prestwick pioneer? Looks like an aviation toff with a silk scarf and a two bob moustache. I'd take him.
11 footballers from 1903, no chance!
The Flower Pots, Hell yeah.. I’d just kick em over.
Perchy - Nowt wrong with The Imperial. Went to my mates wake there a couple of years ago.
Besides, Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers would get a good hiding if they kicked off with any nonsense in there.

The Blackcock...
Nope !
The Golden Cock
Not sure I wanna wrestle with it to be honest, it looks pretty hard...
The Rising Sun
Nope, think I'd get my fingers burnt
The Woodman
Nah, he's got a massive chopper.
The Organ Grinder.
Really hope I don't lose and he grinds my organ 😯
Nowt wrong with The Imperial. Went to my mates wake there a couple of years ago.
You mean Tam Parks?
The name "The Imperial" has been written above that door as long as I've been alive but if you ask any one in the town where the Imperial Bar is they'll look at you blankly and shrug.
Everyone calls it Tam Parks even though Tam Park has been dead for fifty odd years.
The Midland - Either the region or the railway, it's gonna beat me.
The Three Pointers - I run but they'd catch me.
The New masons Arms - Probably not.
The Old Masons Arms - I reckon I could take him...
The Spotted Cow - no.
The Hare - possibly.
You mean Tam Parks?
Not sure what they called it?
If it's the one on the high street, long and narrow, with a pool table in the back room, that's the one.
Yep, that's the one.
No ladies toilet until 2002 - ish
The Kettledrum?
I could beat that.
I drink at the Railway Inn.
It means I can go there to train, and use it as a platform to express my opinions. If I go off the rails in order to get my points across somebody usually will signal to make sure I don't forget my station in life.
the queen - probably - but i'd get strung up!
the jolly sailor - maybe he's had too many
the bold forester - i doubt it
The Plough & Barleycorn?
Might take on a bunch of barley but a plough would be quite dangerous.
The Wackum Inn...
Don't fancy my chances
The Crown.
If it's just me versus the elderly monarch then i reckon easy, if she's able to call upon however many armies she has then probably not.
"The Village Inn", hard to beat a building.
"The Fleet", that's a lot of ships, I don't fancy my chances unless 'nuke 'em from orbit' is an option.
Well my local pub has an Irish name, but it basically translates to "The Rock".
[img] 
[/img]
So probably not.
'The Bear at Home'. He's not only a bear but he's on his own turf.
I'm dead aren't I?
The Spotted Cow - no.The Hare - possibly.
*waves*
The Hen & Chicken should be fairly straightforward, if you can catch them.
My nearest is The Cumberland, referring to the Duke, who camped here, nicknamed Butcher Billy after Culloden, so probably not.
Well, the one I’m a regular at now is the Flemish Weaver, so who knows, previously it was the White Horse, so certainly not, and before that the White Hart, so I’d say not likely there, either.
Three casks, stacked in a triangle.
Definitely lose.
RM.
Nope,it would keep coming at me from the ashes.

Sutton Hall - sign is a coat of arms. Not really sure how to fight it, but reckon I’d win
The Wooden Bridge; as mine is an inanimate object, made of easily combustible material too, so I suspect i could do it some damage with just a match.
However, the troll that might live under it is a different matter. I could set The Goat at Shepperton onto him though and push him onto the A3.
The Halfway. Yeah, I figure I could take it. I'd just have to go all in.
*waves*The Hen & Chicken should be fairly straightforward, if you can catch them.
Oh yeah! You could really kick the crap out of those two if you wanted to.
I don't like this thread anymore 😥
I say bring it on (avian flu aside)

The unicorn.
There would be a lot of horsing around but I'd get the point eventually.
The Barlick Tap? Yeah I reckon he'll turn and run
Yes - The Rising Sun. I'm usually up first.
Mine looks like a right loon, heard he has a 10,000 strong army too

nice
New one near me has opened called "The Nip & Growler". Not even sure what that is, never mind if I could fight it.
Fantastic beers, though.
Rachel
If I'm drunk enough to pick a fight with a tree, I'd deserve to lose.
The Fanny by Gaslight in Kilmarnock. I'm really not sure..
bdum tish. (which is ironically the noise the drum would make)The Kettledrum?
I could beat that.
The Hanging Gate.
The Wheatsheaf.
The Ring 'O' Bells.
All easily dealt with by a bonfire or metal recycling skip.
The Horde?
I don't fancy my chances...
Prince of Wales - I reckon I can take him.
The Speedwell - the flower I could probably take, the armed sailing ship I'm not so sure about.
Also, the Phoenix - hmmm, if I beat it to death it would just regenerate and keep coming back so probably not
The Wheatsheaf - yup
The Kirkstile - easy
The Waggon and Horses, well, it depends on the amount of horses but probably not.
The Duke William. AKA, William The Conqueror, nails, so no there as well.
Not sure how to fight a Plough, not a fight I think you could win, or indeed lose.
The Apple Tree, mine to lose, I reckon. Potential for harm from unsafe working practice.
The Station House - it's a building - as above I guess
The Mill - ditto. The original "mill" bit was designed to grind things into very small bits, but not humans, and the working part's long gone in any case.
The Swan - tricky tell, apparently they can break your arm, but I'd still fancy my chances.
The White Horse - dunno. probably not. Makes me sad thinking about it - it reminds me of Richard Dawson's heart rending "Poor old horse" song, and on a lighter note (somehow) this question from Chuck Klosterman:
2. Let us assume a fully grown, completely healthy Clydesdale horse has his hooves shackled to the ground while his head is held in place with thick rope. He is conscious and standing upright, but completely immobile. And let us assume that--for some reason--every political prisoner on earth (as cited by Amnesty International) will be released from captivity if you can kick this horse to death in less than twenty minutes. You are allowed to wear steel-toed boots.Would you attempt to do this?
The Black Bull, so unless I had some backup, no.
As long as the Tappit Hen is full, I reckon I could down it...

The Plough - it's in the garden, I'm sure I could outrun it especially as the horses are long dead.
Choice of Red Lion or Golden Lion. I’m getting eaten alive...
I fancy my chances against The Bush.
Not so much against The Masons Arms. Too many dodgy handshakes for a fair fight.
My local is called “The Scotland”
So. No.
Probably not.
The Aletaster - guess it depends how many they've had?
The Black Horse - probs not its a least 12 hands
The Cock - I submit.
The Highlander - no chance.
The Toby Jug - Pondo wins. 🙂
The Shiny Sheff. It’s a battleship so I don’t think so.
The Three Merry Lads don’t seem too aggressive.
Frog and Orange, I'd crush them to death under each foot.
Bald faced stag -only if I had a rifle.
Brynamlwg - think that translates to prominent hill. Not sure how to fight a hill...
I he Eagle I think I could clip his wings and send him into a tailspin.
But try clipping a child round the ear these days and I’m sure to be up before the beak.
The Kettledrum?
I could beat that.
bdum tish. (which is ironically the noise the drum would make)
Bodhram-tish surely?
White Hart.
Kill it and grill it.
Prince Albert, maybe
Drayman's Arms, have you seen the size of them! No chance
I have the misfortune of my previously awesome local being turned into a

Although the picture of a fullsome yeoman of Englandshire doesn't really jibe with the ratty looking Eastern-European 'chef' that stinks of fags and carves the joints of meat.
I wouldn't fancy my chances against either of them tooled up as they are.
The unicorn - yeah I could take it down after a few beers.
The bishop’s finger - no chance.
The Cornish.
**** that.
The Cleveland Hotel...
The only thing locally it could be have been named after was the old Crumpsall workhouse on the now gone Cleveland Road. The census description of the residents was 'numerous imbeciles and an idiot'. The pub certainly holds this feel, and like zombie's I reckon individually they wouldn't pose much risk, however on mass I would be brown bread.
I'm a bit wary of taking on The Laughing Dog. OP knows where it is too!
been past it many times, but never inside (if its the one at L'dod?)
The Bear.
😯
Depends how cross the keys are.
The "Members Club" -- could be painful i'd rather have a stab at the "Bush"
