It was demolished in 1986 to make room for Sky Blue Way.
Despite its mock-Tudor appearance it was actually a post-war reconstruction, the original having been bombed along with the convent next door to it.

See I've always been the other way round, must just be whichever you're used to.Always found The Earl of Mercia fine, especially with the real-ales and cheap prices.
Flying Standard, always felt a little uncomfortable, possibly due to the alch-ie clientele!?

Nailed it...See I've always been the other way round, must just be whichever you're used to.
Not being a snowflake at all, just interested to know why anyone would refer to someone by their political opinion.He's a multi millionaire and he dresses like a tramp. Don't be such a snowflake.
My wife has no interest in politics and when I pointed out who he was she couldn't believe how scruffy he was.

To refer to someone by their, colour, race, or sexuality, would be totally unacceptable. So why single him out as a “Brexitier”
If he is a millionaire and looks like a tramp, why not just say that, what has Brexit got to do with anything?
None of the description is wrong.I thought it was apt. And still do.

Ffs, so by your reasoning we can start referring to people by their colour or sexuality or physical handicap can we?None of the description is wrong.
If ever the phrase “you cant argue with stupid” was ever relevant it’s now after reading your posts.Ffs, so by your reasoning we can start referring to people by their colour or sexuality or physical handicap can we?
And I thought we had all moved on from those days!

The only name of a licensee I can find is some called Arthur Hands. That was around 1912.I gathered it had been knocked down, I was just trying to gather what happened to it in the first half of the century.
I'm so sad....I love looking at old maps.. thanks DutchmanIt was in The Bull Ring, just below Butcher Row before both were redeveloped as Trinity Street. So pretty much in exactly the same place as The Flying Standard is now.
There is a subtle difference, whenever I’ve used the term looney left or remoaners, it’s been in a thread referring to Brexit, or eu politics in general, (or a jovial put down, in a response to an incoming jibe)If ever the phrase “you cant argue with stupid” was ever relevant it’s now after reading your posts.
For somebody who's quick to call others looney left and remoaners, you seem remarkably touchy on this issue.
Lol, I love it when a snowflake melts.
There is a subtle difference, whenever I’ve used the term looney left or remoaners, it’s been in a thread referring to Brexit, or eu politics in general, (or a jovial put down, in a response to an incoming jibe)
Hence it’s relevant.
But when you start referring to people by their politics outside of that context, it becomes an issue. (Especially now the Brexit argument is largely decided)
As I’ve said it’s a subtle difference, and needs a certain level of intellect to grasp it.
And fwiw, I’m not at all touchy about it. It actually made me chuckle. But I thought I’d point it out, in the spirit of “brexit isover, let’s move forward now”.’
And, I didn’t raise to the “snowflake” comment from Van damme as it’s so wide of the mark to be hilarious.
Oh I’m sure you will better it!Haha! Early contender for biggest load of bollocks of 2020!!

Fook me, this thread went downhill fast!

Smoking area for the alchies to have their roll ups.Talk of a roof terrace, it already had a roof terrace. The very phrase roof terrace makes it sound a hell of a lot nicer than it is though.
