Good Golly.

Five Police officers were sent to a Family owned Pub in Essex to seize a collection of Golliwog Dolls after an anonymous complaint.
Just forget about tackling anti-social behaviour ,violence and rapes against women and young girls ,Burglary, and catching criminals.

[Prudie]

[drmorgans]

[Prudie]

Were these gollies displayed on a carousel?

//Were these gollies displayed on a carousel?//

They were probably on the Windrush....

Pathetic - I wonder how the Essex police stack up on crime solving against their counterpart forces.

Once , a long time ago, in a county far far away,there was a pub called the Blackamoor inn, (Eckington , just for clarity)
I was just a local, quite pleasant as I remember. Nobody gave two hoots about what it was called. How times have changed. For the better? Perhaps not.

BTW, Miss molly is a euphemism for something that has nothing to do with golliwogs, or Swiss rolls

[ToraToraTora]

Fun fact, the original name of Creedence Clearwater Revival was the golliwogs.

Which euphemism?

It is incredible that the police would act so heavy handed after just one spiteful person complained. There has rightly been a backlash against the police.

If you find them offensive then don't go in the *** pub, problem solved.

Would the dyed in the wool true blues ,get upset if they went into a pub and had seen a collection of Worzel Gummidge haystack dolls.???

[youngmafbog]

All that was needed was one copper having 'a word'.

It was six coppers actually and this on an estate rife with frug and other anti social crime which it appears plod never pitch up to. Now we cn see why.

Woke coppering at its best.

lady's garden if anyone hadnt noticed.

Nobody gave two hoots about what it pub was called.

we - - - havent read our Ladybird book on pub names have we?
Green man was used alot ( 1066 that is) time of a pub = a upside down tree outside
know fertility
Cat and Wheel - Ct Catherine's Wheel - describing how the saint of that name ( Catherine that is!)

and ignores the unfortunate pub in Darzet aaaarh
which started of 1815 King of Prussia - as the Brunswickers had saved WEllington by appearing at the last moment
THEN 1914 - oops Prussians out - and King of Belgium IN
then 1940 - King of Belgium out as he gave up too quickly ( a/c to ma Daydy who spent 5 y in POW camp after Dunkirk)
and then he gave up and called it the Sally Ann

and so boys and girls - we see we DO care what a pub is called

carry on folliwogging!

[Peter Pedant]

frugz - sounds awful
do they get caught in the froat a lot?

[sandyRoe]

Wasn't there a play on in London a while back, Mother Clap's Molly House?
