Went into town today,and had to look twice,a coffee /cafe,with the name THE SLUG AND LETTUCE,i had to laugh,and it seemed fairly busy to,i wonder what made them think that one up,
Anyone know of more hmm,unusual names.
There's a Slug and Lettuce in York. Good grub too.
There used to be a Chinese restaurant at the lower end of the Kings Road in London (not that far from a current Slug and Lettuce) called Ho Li Fook.

I have just given it a real pruning before it comes into leaf in the hope of getting some regeneration and the tree not having to work as hard getting water and nutrients higher up. If this doesn't work I'll replace it next year with something else.
