    This one satisfies the criteria of both threads:http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/65543/ an old haunt of Ian Fleming's, who was a local lad.The code for the National Express coach from nearby Deal to London is 007.I haven't been to this pub since I was a teenager, but am planning a visit. Bit foody, I'm told.

    Blandford Forum is one I have just spotted.
    There’s a place not a million miles from me called Effingham, I always chuckle when I see the sign.

    To get on the list I think that the location should have a pub in it to count.
    Not far from Effingham are the villages of Cobham, Fetcham and Bookham. Always sounds to me like the process of arrest by the local constabulary

    Mrs W came from Fetcham, that's before she moved to Mickleham-its always stood her in good stead in the Surrey smalltalk stakes.
