St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?

Why not? About five tube stations are named after pubs, and a pub called "Everything in the garden is green and lovely" is not too hard to imagine... or is it? Surely some pub names are not noun phrases? I've never seen a pub name that was not a noun phrase. If you can find one, I'd be well interested. Oh.. Actually, yes, there's The Case Is Altered at Fosdyke. In London... Ain't Nothing But Blues in Soho The Defectors Weld at Shepherd's Bush Dicey's The Galway Hooker at Neasden Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes at Hoxton Ha! Ha! in various places Hung, Drawn & Quartered at Tower Hill Liberty Bounds at Tower Hill Monkey Chews at Primrose Hill 1802 at West India Quay Rock The Boat at Waterloo Tally Ho in Finchley ....not counting single-not-nouns like Imbibe and Lush (well, technically Lush is a noun, but I doubt that's the sense they're going for...) -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
