Could you win in a fight against it?

The Plume of feathers I reckon I could just about handle, but The Robin Hood? That notorious armed villain? Id be stuffed.

The Swan - I fancy my chances, I don't believe they'd actually break your arm although I reckon I'd be a bit squeamish inevitably breaking most of it's bones clumsily in a scrap before actually getting to it's neck.

The Black Boy - no chance if a horse, 50/50 if just racist.

Magpie and parrot - depends, tag team or two on one?

Just Lord Devonshire's arms. If it's just those flailing about then I reckon I could take him.

The Squinting Cat so I should stand a chance seeing as it can't even see properly.

The Prestwick pioneer? Looks like an aviation toff with a silk scarf and a two bob moustache. I'd take him.

Perchy - Nowt wrong with The Imperial. Went to my mates wake there a couple of years ago.

Besides, Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers would get a good hiding if they kicked off with any nonsense in there.

The Golden Cock

Not sure I wanna wrestle with it to be honest, it looks pretty hard...

The Rising Sun

Nope, think I'd get my fingers burnt

The Woodman

Nah, he's got a massive chopper.

You mean Tam Parks?

The name "The Imperial" has been written above that door as long as I've been alive but if you ask any one in the town where the Imperial Bar is they'll look at you blankly and shrug.

Everyone calls it Tam Parks even though Tam Park has been dead for fifty odd years.

The Midland - Either the region or the railway, it's gonna beat me.

The Three Pointers - I run but they'd catch me.

The New masons Arms - Probably not.

The Old Masons Arms - I reckon I could take him...

Not sure what they called it?

If it's the one on the high street, long and narrow, with a pool table in the back room, that's the one.

I drink at the Railway Inn.

It means I can go there to train, and use it as a platform to express my opinions. If I go off the rails in order to get my points across somebody usually will signal to make sure I don't forget my station in life.

the bold forester - i doubt it

The Plough & Barleycorn?

Might take on a bunch of barley but a plough would be quite dangerous.

The Crown.

If it's just me versus the elderly monarch then i reckon easy, if she's able to call upon however many armies she has then probably not.

"The Village Inn", hard to beat a building.

"The Fleet", that's a lot of ships, I don't fancy my chances unless 'nuke 'em from orbit' is an option.

Well my local pub has an Irish name, but it basically translates to "The Rock".

So probably not.

'The Bear at Home'. He's not only a bear but he's on his own turf.

I'm dead aren't I?

The Spotted Cow - no.

The Hare - possibly.

*waves*

The Hen & Chicken should be fairly straightforward, if you can catch them.

My nearest is The Cumberland, referring to the Duke, who camped here, nicknamed Butcher Billy after Culloden, so probably not.

Well, the one I’m a regular at now is the Flemish Weaver, so who knows, previously it was the White Horse, so certainly not, and before that the White Hart, so I’d say not likely there, either.

The Wooden Bridge; as mine is an inanimate object, made of easily combustible material too, so I suspect i could do it some damage with just a match.

However, the troll that might live under it is a different matter. I could set The Goat at Shepperton onto him though and push him onto the A3.

The Halfway. Yeah, I figure I could take it. I'd just have to go all in.

Oh yeah! You could really kick the crap out of those two if you wanted to.

I don't like this thread anymore 😥

New one near me has opened called "The Nip & Growler". Not even sure what that is, never mind if I could fight it.

Fantastic beers, though.

If I'm drunk enough to pick a fight with a tree, I'd deserve to lose.
