The Beacon, a closed pub in Lawe Top, South Shields

On passing this pub under refurbishment I was much amused to notice that someone has graffitied in the name ' Basil Fawlty' where the name of the licensee is usually displayed. It could be an in-joke (or even an inn joke?) or a local joke or just a general joke, but it was funny.
