Do any British pub experts know anything about a Race Horse Inn that was once in, or relatively close to, Ulverston in Cumbria, UK?
I have a photo of it that I can't share, but it's front door was elevated from street level with symmetrical staircases (of around seven steps) left and right to access it.
Its landlady was once Agnes E. Brocklebank, and at some point it appears to have been tied to Bass, but my usual searches have yielded no results.

Can anyone make out the long word/phrase in the second layer of this palimpsest?
Layer 1 (rust lettering): "Whitebread, Earl Russell Inn"
Layer 2 (black lettering): "The Earl Russell, West _______ try"
The location is 143 Lawrence Hill, Bristol BS5 0BT (corner of Earl Russell Way) and the sign was revealed from beneath a billboard between 2019–20: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oKGDHEaDayoEB6ELA.

Twelve pet peeves about modern hotels
Listed below are this author’s 12 pet peeves about staying in modern hotels. If there are others that readers of this blog wish to send along, please feel free to do so. The peeves are not listed in order of importance and this author is sure there are many more peeves that could be added. Peace!
Source” clipartpanda.com——-
- Why are there so many darn gadgets with glow-in-the-dark digital lighting that cast unwanted light across the room like the Vegas Strip at night?
- Must 90% of all continental breakfasts be composed of solely carbs and sugar?
- Please let the customer control the heating and air conditioning, instead of being subjected to preset temps in the room that arc back and forth between North Pole and Death Valley.
- Why does a pet cost nearly as much per night as a person? And, what the hell is it with $75 for the first three nights, even if you only stay for one, at certain hotel brands. If you don’t want pets, just say so.
- Funny how in the archaic days of pre-internet you could cancel reservations over the phone by 6:00 pm on the day of arrival and not be charged. But now, in the high speed digital age, many places require 48 hours notice or more! So, it now takes two days for a cancellation to reach its destination where before it took mere seconds by phone? Can you say “rip-off?”
- Why can’t night shade curtains be made that actually extend past the middle of the window so that damn beacon in the parking lot doesn’t shine through right where your face is on the pillow?
- My kingdom for a mini-fridge that doesn’t turn everything into a glacier overnight!
- Exactly how many documents does one have to sign to check in to a hotel for that breathtaking cubicle overlooking the truck stop?
- Why are breakfast areas always jammed packed with travel soccer teams or families heading to Disney World right when we come down to eat?
- Ever notice how brand new hotels, especially along highways, are awesome at first, but each subsequent visit they seem to be gradually losing their luster to the point that within a few years they seem to be falling apart? Are we that disposable of a society?
- Does anyone offer decaffeinated coffee anymore?
- Why do hotel showers always have a sweet spot on the handle that instantly switches between hell-fire and deep freeze?

What are your favourite books about British pub signs? I'm working on a very special bl.ag online piece and want to include some recommended reading.

Dear Whinging Friends, :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
As we in the UK (allegedly) know, 'musn't grumble'. Maybe we should a little more?
- Brexit? Bet you can't eat three? Eh wait that is wheatabix, readybrex, shredded wheat/wit? Something tasteless with added sugar rush? :ablobcatpopcorn:
- The #weather is now so #unpredictable we can talk about it and whinge even more. Result!
- We are now #bank ruptured. Oh the #humanity
Easy to be a whinge bag. #Fortunately we have some of the #brightest minds in the IMPerial Empire of little In-gland:
- Pubic [sic] transport run by runner haz beans...
- Schools making way for Pink Floyd, 'We don't need no education, Teacher leave them kids alone'. #Sum mishtake surely.
- #Food #grown in #inns and out of hunger #allotments 🥬
Expect more surprises. As they happen, mostly by accident...

"This week has seen the media sharing information about sightings of the non-native Asian Hornet (Vespa velutina), here in the UK.
As a result of these early sightings conservationists feel that it is highly probable the hornets have overwintered and may now be successfully breeding in the UK"

Anyone know anyone working on invasive rat monitoring and control? I have questions/ideas about using cameratraps to monitor rat populations on a small island!

International nonproprietary names (#INNs) seem too rational for this world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_nonproprietary_nameI'm amazed that they launched as early as 1953 and amazed that they didn't fizzle in 1954.

"Good morning in the morning!"
Ich habe den #BKR verlassen. Mein heutiger Tag beginnt in #Rosenheim am #Inn und führt nördlich entlang des #Inns über #WasserburgAmInn bis ungefähr #MühldorfAmInn.
Ich bin sehr gespannt.

"“In 10 years about 40% of inns will be owned by foreigners,” said Yuji Tsuji of the Hotel & Inn Research Center, which also acts as a real estate agent. He added that he is seeing a rise in requests from owners of traditional inns, or #ryokans, who want to sell to foreign buyers, and a rapid increase in inquiries from Chinese nationals looking for #inns to buy" -

During my research, I wondered what persuaded my 4 x great grandfather Richard Morgan to travel twenty miles west from Llantrisant to settle in Pyle. Then, I hit upon a theory. As an ostler, he moved there to work at Pyle Coaching Inn, the main inn on the main highway. Then, while researching the births of Richard’s children, I discovered that he was listed as a horse keeper at Pyle Coaching Inn. It’s lovely when your theories are confirmed by the facts.
