Daily heil clickbait again?
Its founder Lord Northcliffe supposedly said that the secret of his success was "I give my readers a daily hate", and DM journalists have claimed they were encouraged to write articles that left their readers angry. So it's much more than mere clicks, they want people to get emotionally involved, no matter what it leads to.

But people are gullible and fall for the propaganda.
 
I'm suing Greene King for Old Speckled Hen. Not only did my ma used to cluck and squawk like a goose on steroids, but she never recovered her childhood beauty after a bout of chicken pox. No reason for G K to take the píss at every opportunity, though, is there! The callous bar stewards.

Whether it is true or not it's still sensationalist nonsense from the Daily Mail. Some random nut makes an idle treat to sue a pub and then daily mail rub their hands in glee because it feeds into a wider narrative they want to promote that is rather more sinister. Ask yourself this: given everything going on in the world, is this really a top national news story? And if not, why is the daily mail so keen to tell you about it?
 
Funny old things pub names..
One by Chester,dunno if its still there...The Headless Woman.
More controversial is how the Quiet Woman in Leek represents itself...

There's one in Caernarfon called The Black Boy.
There's about 70 pubs called that in the UK, although eg Greene King renamed their three during lockdown :

I been in one by Epsom called The Rat.
I’ve been in the Headless Woman, wasn’t it on the road from Chester to Tarpoley?
 
I did a quick search earlier and the name headless woman has something to do with a man who cut his wife's head off
 
Turns out that was not true.

The name of the Headless Woman public house name recalls the local legend of Grace Trigg who died in about 1664. She was a servant at nearby Hockenhull Hall, found hiding in a cellar there by Oliver Cromwell's parliamentarian soldiers after the royalist owners had fled. They tortured her to force her to reveal where the family valuables were hidden and, when she would not tell them, beheaded her in the attic, dragged her body downstairs and dumped it off one of the "Roman Bridges" (three medieval packhorse bridges on the River Gowy, still standing today at the end of Platts Lane in Hockenhull).
