    The Wonky Donkey has a grim place in history. It was a device for hanging three people at the same time. There is a model of it it in the yard of The Three Legged Mare.

      Thanks for the tip, cats. I was looking at the York Brewery website this afternoon, and they seem to have an interesting set of pubs. With any luck, I should be able to get to a couple of them. The name Last Drop Inn has a nice ring to it.

          Grave -

          You should try The Last Drop and also its sister pub The Three Legged Mare - both independent pubs. The names refer to the hangman's noose and the gallows - there used to be one out the back of the Three Legged Mare - maybe it's still there..

            Actually Ally, the way everyone's talking here, they'll all be on a pub crawl rather than the conference! Could end up being just you and the speakers.

                Fair enough. This is The United Kingdom. Even a bag of rotten toamtoes ain't cheap!

                    Who could not be pleased at meeting me? I am so cuddly and adorable.

                        Will you shave your legs before the conference?

                              Why, is there a checkpoint? Am I required to declare everything I shave?
