This 100-year-old Liverpool pub is getting a rather rude new name

A PUB IN THE town of Seaforth, near Liverpool, has gotten itself an interesting new name: The Cock and Seaman. No, really.
The 100-year-old pub, formerly named The Doric, is expected to reopen under its cheeky new moniker in two weeks’ time.
Residents of Seaforth are tickled by the choice of name, to say the least:
Whoops!

A Twitter user living nearby also says the Doric is the “oldest of old man pubs” in the area. Bet they’re delighted.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the pub is being taken on by a chain that runs similarly named pubs (The Cock and Pullet, The Cock and Donkey etc) in other parts of the country.
Edward Atkinson, owner of the chain, said he hoped people would have a sense of humour about the name change:
