I suppose the upside is that you don't need to slow down to case the joint if you're looking for a stop, you can rule it out from about 500 yards away. Round our way M&B have been debranding their wretched Vintage Inns. You can be parked up and through the door before you realise your error.
Fair point!

I didn't think it was possible to have a more cynical outlook than I have!! I'm well impressed.
No idea what pub it is - a friend stuck it up on Facebook but made me laugh!...
