NO, No, No! Please tell me I'm dreaming, or are they really thinking of changing the name of the dear old Rovers Return to The Boozy Newt?

I can't bear the thought and simply cannot understand such vulgarity being suggested on my favourite soap.

If Natalie must sell, then please consider an alternative story-line. Jim gets acquitted for clearing the place of that low life, Jez Quigley, and is awarded enough compensation for being banged-up in the first place for him and Liz to start a new life together as landlord and landlady of the Rovers.

Or even, Jack and Vera win enough on the Lottery to take the place off Natalie's hands. In either case, the well-known and loved name would remain.

Can you imagine Ken Barlow or Emily Bishop wanting to set foot in a place with that name? It is enough to make the old regulars like Ena Sharples and Stan Ogden turn in their graves!
