ONCE UPON A SIGN...

Are there any storytellers in your car? Here's their chance to show their ingenuity. The idea is to invent a story based on the names of pubs that you pass. The telling passes from player to player.

Say, for example, that the first pub is called the Cat and Fiddle. It's easy enough to begin a tale about a remarkable cat who could play the violin. He sets out to find his fortune, and on the journey meets a Lamb and Bull. It starts to rain, so they all shelter under a Green Tree. This turns out to be a Royal Oak, for poking out of the leaves they see a King's Head . . .

Some pubs will be very difficult to fit into any story, but most of them have possibilities. What about The Squinting Cat, The Cheshire Cheese and The Old Tumbling Sailors? Ingenuity needed!
