The Uplands to become....(Lounged)

[ryedalema]

I like the Actress - you can have lots of 'Carry On - f'nah, f'nah' moments.

..and pictures in the loos (possibly on the toilet rolls,right?).

[david_carnell]

I like the Actress....much better than the Village.

[SimonM]

'The Actress'? What a witty, original and appropriate choice! :)) And so many locals to choose from to perform the official opening! >:D

I'm not at all keen on 'The Actress'.

It sounds quite pretentious and a bit, well, crap.

Agree.

It's better than The Villager, but that's not hard.

Both of them just sound like you're trying too hard.

The Actress was a joke, because of The Bishop.

It wasn't a serious suggestion - I think :)

I'm not sure, Sue... is Scott desperately scratching around for names? or did I miss his publican sarcastic wit?

The Actress is a terrible name for a pub.

Call it The Big Bad Wolf.

[scott]

Whether or not 'The Actress' was a joke, it is leading the field at the moment. The bedrooms could then be dressing rooms....

[Jeremy]

I don't think people will take to it, Scott.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Why don't you call it The Antarctic?

[Moos]

Because he would then have to die in it.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

But think of the fame!

[????]

I'm going to the Castle...I may be sometime

So if bedrooms are going to be dressing rooms, does that mean that the...erm...toilets will have 'novel' names too?

Like those ones where you have to stop and think before you enter.......in case you get it wrong* :o

eg. Gangsters/Molls, Drakes/Damsels, Helgas/whatever the male equivalent etc

Oh and good luck with it, can't be easy to rename somewhere, will def pop along there to check it out. The pub that is, not the toilets ;)

*yes, I am that dense at times.

Helga and.... Fritz? Helmut?

[Jah Lush]

I think we should call it Brian.

[EDKiwi]

..or The Monty Python

Sorry for some reason I though of the Life of Brian with that last post.

[brum]

I propose the new name should be 'The Green Man'. A favourite name of mine, also it represents inclusivity, with a common cause for good across Christian,Pagan and other faiths.

The Green Man also represents new growth and re-birth, of regeneration. It symbolises strength and security. All-in-all, a great name for a pub!

[Cassius]

I like the sound of the Green Man but feel that it might have to be modernised and santitised to the Green Person, or the Green Non-Gendered Human Being to be permissable.

[brum]

LOL Cassius. I fear you may be right!
