Mine is the "The Huntsman" with a red jacked toff upon a horse on the sign outside.

I reckon I could have a good go if I could get him off the horse, otherwise I reckon I'd be trampled and whipped.

I used to work bar at the Llanelwedd many years ago.
But we drank at the Hundred House or the Seven Stars at Aberedw.

I reckon I could flop out The Happy Cheese in Ashurst.

Probably struggle against any of these London boozers though. Different breed.

I could take on The Wheatsheaf with a lighter. Not so sure about the Castle.

Neither The Dove nor The Fat Cat should cause any trouble.

The Cricketers. They are a bit handy in a fight apparently 😯

The Shiny Sheff. It’s a battleship so I don’t think so.

The Three Merry Lads don’t seem too aggressive.


Haha. We’ve established before that pook and I live round the corner from each other.
However I’ve never set foot in the shitty sheff.
What about the sportsman? With my bad knee I’d probably give that a swerve.
Going the other way, into town rather than the countryside, and my preferred watering hole is the rising sun. As someone else suggested though, fingers burned etc.
So if I wanted to start a fight I could actually win I’d hop on the bus and go to Broomhill where I’d find

Could just tickle it into submission.
It helps that the owner/barman Ted is a sound bloke too.

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...

Ah, the Cleve.
🙂
Stay off the Diamond, it rots your brain, apparently.

Used to live in the flat above the hairdressers on the corner of Delaunays & Crumpsal Lane.

Is the Canny Scot still going?

The Dark Horse - probably not
The George and Dragon - I'd play them off against one another but still get killed by George.
The Fire Engine - nee nah
The Whitehall Tavern - bunch of civil servants, it's possible.

Rusty - the Canny Scot is still going strong it's been here longer than I, but the hairdresser isn't. Think we may well have lived in the same flat 🙂

The Red Lion - Not going to mess with a lion covered in blood.
The Woolpack - Would be like a pillow fight, being the youngest child I've had loads of these with my brother and sister, no problem.

The Ship. It'd depend on context, if I was in a Mitsubishi zero packed with explosive then yes, if I was a haddock, no.

The Malta - not going to take on a whole island
Sir Thomas Wyatt - he's long dead, so I reckon even I could win that one

The Unicorn. Doubtful tbh.

The Bricklayers Arms.

If it's just his arms, then I'm more worried about whoever beat me to him!

Surely this thread is inspired by The Marquis of Granby: a fine duellist, horseman and a lovely piece of comedy.

For a pub, he is uncommonly agile.

For my various locals when back in UK...

Six Bells - prolly break my fingers
Gardeners Arms - Sounds like he already lost a fight (with a mower or something?)
Green Man - I'm sure he can't be that hard
The Hobbit - Are they good fighters? (gave up reading the books - they don't half drag on a bit)
The Stile - would walk all over it 😉

Not my local but saw a pub yesterday called 'The Mechanical Elephant' which was a new one for me.

Can you negotiate with a mechanical elephant?

The Cross Keys. Even if they're really angry I reckon I'm OK against small (though furious) inanimate objects.

The Black Swan. A big bird that can (allegedly) break your leg with a wing beat that may still be angry from a history of racial persecution. No thanks...

The Royal Oak. Big and hard but not very mobile. I fancy my chances. Having said that, I caught one of those Lord of the Rings vilms at the weekend and those Ents look nails...

The Mad Cat.
No way.

The Cherry Tree.
Ok if I'm allowed my chainsaw.

'The Savage Bedlington'

Surely no man would stand a chance.

White Lion...I'll swerve that to take on the Cross Inn, might be bad tempered but I reckon it'd be a better bet. Then I could stagger down the hill to the Fox and Goose...

The Bloomsbury - The sign is the Sun, so a bit hot to get into the pub...
The Sussex Arms - Just a massive barrel, easy.
The Prince Blucher - He's got a sword, probably not.
The Prince Albert - He's got a Prince Albert, probably not.
The Rifleman - He's got a rifle, definitely not.
