| Several years ago I heard that they used market research to investigate two possible names, one was the Crown and the other was the Harlot. It seemed to me that the Harlot was a wonderful name, local obviously, with aspects from Hogarth but also fun, playful and above all imaginative and a bit naughty. That they chose the dull name of the Crown seemed to me to be utterly unimaginative and timid. A name to be found on every suburban high street. Whether this story is true I don't know but I felt at the time that such an unimaginative choice did not bode well for it's future |
