There's pubs in and around leicester called 'The Foxhunter', 'The Black Boy' (now closed) and 'The Shoulder of Mutton'

In Bristol there was a rather good pub called the Black Boy, situated on Blackboy Hill, which is itself a continuation of Whiteladies Road. I seem to remember a story that the latter historically referred to ladies of negotiable affections, though it's mainly posh sofa shops and wine bars these days. Sadly the pub seems to have closed and the building turned into bedsits

That's the one just off Dirty Slapper Avenue, a few yards from the junction with Man Whore Grove?

I am going to Sue the next person who calls me a sly old fox.

And please stop referring to Montgomery as the "Desert Fox".
