The Anonymous Widower

This Landlady Had Better Be Careful

This story on the BBC, shows how the United States seems to go out of its way to get everybody’s back up.

It would appear that the pub has been called the Hobbit for about twenty years.

But then, she had better conform, otherwise she’ll be whisked off to the United States to face unlimited fines and a long sentence in some awful jail.

This case is calling out for some good honest British justice.

I used to know one of JRR Tolkein’s cousins and he did a lot of business in the old Soviet Union, where his cousin’s books were very popular. In those , he always took several with him, as they always opened doors.

So I suspect there are quite a few things named after Tolkein characters in Russia.  Why don’t these American lawyers go and annoy Putin?
