I see Real Ale Ray has been out and about in sunny but ultimately depressing Birkenhead where he chanced upon a couple of oddly named pubs:

And there was me sniggering every time I saw a Cock Inn...
In the days of my youth,I used to drink in here under it's original name of The Organ Inn,which was always worth a guffaw.In addition a trip to Saltaire isn't complete unless you pop in here.

Frankie Howerd was the first person I thought of when I reviewed The Polished Knob, Todmorden.

The name seems to have taken a less controversial route.
