There's a story on the BBC this morning about Greene King renaming some of their Black Boy pubs.

Naturally my mind turned to the one in Killay. One google later I wound up reading such an interesting piece by Swansea-born mixed race chap that I decided to share.

An interesting and thought provoking article in parts. Some nice reflections on Swansea and SCFC history too.

Regarding renaming, I think it is both wise and inevitable regardless of origin.
