Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Sign for the Pig and Whistle Inn The phrase 'Pigs and Whistles' dates back over 300 years, and means 'Rack and ruin'. Since successive generations have unfairly held that frequent visits to pubs were tantamount to self-ruination, to go to the pub might be to 'Go to Pig(s) & Whistles. Again, an average pun, but one which made for some very pretty pub signs. |
