It's not the first time a pub has been renamed following a lick of paint. I refuse in principle to dispose of my hard-earned coin in such establishments, for the name change gimmick alone usually indicates a down market move to attract the local riff-raff to whatever the latest drinking fad happens to be

Particularly saddening is the case of the Printer's Arms in Ossy; a lovely mid-georgian pub whose name indicates it's original function has a house of refreshment for the hard-grafting calico printers from the nearby Moscow Mill.

As for the George (Last Orders MkII), you won't be seeing me there either.

God help us all should a Wetherspoons pub ever be licensed to open it's obnoxious doors in Accy.
