    Help finding The White Lion pub

    I think this was originally the White Lion on Horse Fair, unfortunately the entrance has been 'revamped' so of no help to you I think.

    There was a White Lion PH at 34 Horse Fair which was a 10 minute walk from the White Swan, could be a possibility.

    I think it was just a case of Lyn (Astoness) posting a picture of Saltley Provisions Stores, unfortunately this probably got lost when the site was hacked several years ago.

    Me Dads old sayings

    When I was very young if I asked my dad if I could go to bed later he would say 'not tonight Josephine' I hadn't got a clue why he said it but assume now it was a reference to Napoleon and Josephine and their adulterous relationship. Can anybody shed a light on the saying?
