Living in the town where the MG car factory once was, in 1950 they built a pub, calling it the Magic midget . The pub sign was of the Midget sports car. Fast forward to recently and Green King have updated the pub. The remove the word magic and it’s now called the Midget pub. Still using the car on the pub sign. Someone has objected and now there are two lots of groups for and against the name. The objectors have got people with dwarfism objecting and most locals want the name to stay as lot of them worked at the car factory and perhaps built the car. It’s a difficult one, as I can see both points of view, but times change and perhaps they could think of another name and keep the sign.
