Hi Conrad
Hardly worth the effort of registering:

'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
It is a Facebook user, so again I suspect they are treating it as a proxy for their wall on Facebook, easily enough done if you have played with both (and registration is ridiculously simple through Facebook, 2 button clicks).
Review seems harmless, so unless anyone objects I will just leave it there.
Most pointless review ever???????

A pub is for life not just for Christmas
It serves a purpose until we sort out a way of showing historical names.
Truthfully though I have to admit I prefer not to criticise members who have contributed large amounts to the site, if they think it is of value I would rather take them seriously.
I think this thread is falling a little out of hand for me. If a review is rude and needs to be removed fair play. If someone is being disingenuous be it a landlord or a normal reviewer then pointing and laughing is fine. But where a review is not up to whatever standards we hold but does no harm I am not sure what this achieves, I think deleting them and saying that they are not good enough is hardly going to want to make the person come back. And similarly if they see remarks like this on the forum it is hardly going to harbour good will.
Have to agree with Conrad on this [can't find an arse licking icon], perhaps because I add the historical names where I know them, and sometimes the fancy new name is dropped & pub reverts to historical name
For instance this one in Portsmouth
I was thinking that - sometimes you might want to check out a pub you knew years back, maybe visit it for old time's sake. If you knew it as the Hasp and Staple you'd still have half a chance of knowing it was still there, albeit mindlessly refurbished into the Kebab and Calculator, and save your bus fare.
