bdum tish. (which is ironically the noise the drum would make)The Kettledrum?
I could beat that.
The Hanging Gate.
The Wheatsheaf.
The Ring 'O' Bells.
All easily dealt with by a bonfire or metal recycling skip.
The Horde?
I don't fancy my chances...
Prince of Wales - I reckon I can take him.
The Speedwell - the flower I could probably take, the armed sailing ship I'm not so sure about.
Also, the Phoenix - hmmm, if I beat it to death it would just regenerate and keep coming back so probably not
The Wheatsheaf - yup
The Kirkstile - easy
The Waggon and Horses, well, it depends on the amount of horses but probably not.
The Duke William. AKA, William The Conqueror, nails, so no there as well.
Not sure how to fight a Plough, not a fight I think you could win, or indeed lose.
The Apple Tree, mine to lose, I reckon. Potential for harm from unsafe working practice.
The Station House - it's a building - as above I guess
The Mill - ditto. The original "mill" bit was designed to grind things into very small bits, but not humans, and the working part's long gone in any case.
The Swan - tricky tell, apparently they can break your arm, but I'd still fancy my chances.
The White Horse - dunno. probably not. Makes me sad thinking about it - it reminds me of Richard Dawson's heart rending "Poor old horse" song, and on a lighter note (somehow) this question from Chuck Klosterman:
2. Let us assume a fully grown, completely healthy Clydesdale horse has his hooves shackled to the ground while his head is held in place with thick rope. He is conscious and standing upright, but completely immobile. And let us assume that--for some reason--every political prisoner on earth (as cited by Amnesty International) will be released from captivity if you can kick this horse to death in less than twenty minutes. You are allowed to wear steel-toed boots.Would you attempt to do this?
The Black Bull, so unless I had some backup, no.
As long as the Tappit Hen is full, I reckon I could down it...

The Plough - it's in the garden, I'm sure I could outrun it especially as the horses are long dead.
Choice of Red Lion or Golden Lion. I’m getting eaten alive...
I fancy my chances against The Bush.
Not so much against The Masons Arms. Too many dodgy handshakes for a fair fight.
My local is called “The Scotland”
So. No.
Probably not.
The Aletaster - guess it depends how many they've had?
The Black Horse - probs not its a least 12 hands
The Cock - I submit.
The Highlander - no chance.
The Toby Jug - Pondo wins. 🙂
The Shiny Sheff. It’s a battleship so I don’t think so.
The Three Merry Lads don’t seem too aggressive.
Frog and Orange, I'd crush them to death under each foot.
Bald faced stag -only if I had a rifle.
Brynamlwg - think that translates to prominent hill. Not sure how to fight a hill...
I he Eagle I think I could clip his wings and send him into a tailspin.
But try clipping a child round the ear these days and I’m sure to be up before the beak.
The Kettledrum?
I could beat that.
bdum tish. (which is ironically the noise the drum would make)
Bodhram-tish surely?
White Hart.
Kill it and grill it.
Prince Albert, maybe
Drayman's Arms, have you seen the size of them! No chance
I have the misfortune of my previously awesome local being turned into a

Although the picture of a fullsome yeoman of Englandshire doesn't really jibe with the ratty looking Eastern-European 'chef' that stinks of fags and carves the joints of meat.
I wouldn't fancy my chances against either of them tooled up as they are.
The unicorn - yeah I could take it down after a few beers.
The bishop’s finger - no chance.
The Cornish.
**** that.
The Cleveland Hotel...
The only thing locally it could be have been named after was the old Crumpsall workhouse on the now gone Cleveland Road. The census description of the residents was 'numerous imbeciles and an idiot'. The pub certainly holds this feel, and like zombie's I reckon individually they wouldn't pose much risk, however on mass I would be brown bread.
I'm a bit wary of taking on The Laughing Dog. OP knows where it is too!
been past it many times, but never inside (if its the one at L'dod?)
The Bear.
😯
Depends how cross the keys are.
The "Members Club" -- could be painful i'd rather have a stab at the "Bush"
Mine is the "The Huntsman" with a red jacked toff upon a horse on the sign outside.
I reckon I could have a good go if I could get him off the horse, otherwise I reckon I'd be trampled and whipped.
🙂
I used to work bar at the Llanelwedd many years ago.
But we drank at the Hundred House or the Seven Stars at Aberedw.
I reckon I could flop out The Happy Cheese in Ashurst.
Probably struggle against any of these London boozers though. Different breed.
I could take on The Wheatsheaf with a lighter. Not so sure about the Castle.
Neither The Dove nor The Fat Cat should cause any trouble.
The Cricketers. They are a bit handy in a fight apparently 😯
The Shiny Sheff. It’s a battleship so I don’t think so.The Three Merry Lads don’t seem too aggressive.
Haha. We’ve established before that pook and I live round the corner from each other.
However I’ve never set foot in the shitty sheff.
What about the sportsman? With my bad knee I’d probably give that a swerve.
Going the other way, into town rather than the countryside, and my preferred watering hole is the rising sun. As someone else suggested though, fingers burned etc.
So if I wanted to start a fight I could actually win I’d hop on the bus and go to Broomhill where I’d find

Could just tickle it into submission.
It helps that the owner/barman Ted is a sound bloke too.

Ah, the Cleve.
🙂
Stay off the Diamond, it rots your brain, apparently.
Used to live in the flat above the hairdressers on the corner of Delaunays & Crumpsal Lane.
Is the Canny Scot still going?
The Dark Horse - probably not
The George and Dragon - I'd play them off against one another but still get killed by George.
The Fire Engine - nee nah
The Whitehall Tavern - bunch of civil servants, it's possible.
