Ah well, I suppose if it's going to be a funeral parlour - full of the dead and the glum faced - it won't be the first pub in Hyndburn to achieve that distinction.

The Accy Commercial (aka Wetherspoons) has already done it.

Some of us have tastes and principles, Jaysay.

By the way - we can also spell - it's Wetherspoons.

It's a good 'un - I'm sure you'll all agree:

THE FOXHILL

Will the new owners

Allow the sad mourners

To drown their snot

With a takeaway

From Yip Spot?

Nah.

The Accy Wetherspoons is based on the Ossy model of a pub.
