The Three Feathers Westminster
Track of the day - Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.
English Pubs originally all had signs depicting simple scenes e.g. Hole In The Ground, Tulip & Tiara, Plough & Horses, Eight Bells and The Kings Arms.
As most travellers in the 14th and 15th centuries were illiterate, the sign was used to identify the Pub.
"After the funeral I'll see you in The Hole In The Ground."
I include this useless load of dollop because it seems that until very recently, drinkers at The Feathers public house in Westminster were unaware that they were drinking under a sign that included the words "Twll din pob sais" - a Welsh phrase meaning All English are assholes - rather than the usual German motto "Ich Dien". meaning I serve.

A spokesman for pub giant Mitchell & Butlers, owners of The Feathers, explained: "It does seem that a sign was put up there which did have an offensive comment on it . We apologise to anyone it could have offended."
