Passing the King And Queen public house in Brighton's Marlborough Place, I was deeply relieved to discover it was exactly the way it always was and is still named King And Queen.
Pub owners spend many thousands on revamping and renaming their hostelries with the intention of drawing more people in.
Very run-down premises may well need a new image but those such as the King and Queen possessing a classic, timeless theme cannot be improved and people are drawn back time and time again by the old and familiar surroundings.
I was so glad my favourite haunt had not become "Planet 2001" or "Pig In Paradise" or some such name because I could never have entered its doors again.
