History should be preserved

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#207

I'm signing because as my local pub I believe it should retain it's heritage, as it has for all of these years...

So if City Inns took over the Queen Vic in Albert Square it would change the name to give a fresh start after all that's happened there before??? Really? This isn't a Weatherspoons or a Yare's Wine Lodge, it's a landmark. Let it be and spend the money on log fires and garden furniture.

Born in Eastcote and lived there until 1981, The Case is Altered is known through generations and keeps Eastcote MIDDLESEX on the map.

Does changing pub names really bring any benefit. I'm sure most people still think about The Whittington, rather than the Pinner Arms...

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#217

The name doesn't need to be changed as the case is being altered so the name is very accurate and should remain and is well known for miles around.

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

THIS IS AN ICONIC PUB THAT I HAVE USED FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND WHICH THE NAME IS PART OF ITS HISTORY AND CHARACTER AND CAN SEE NO REASON FOR ANY CHANGE

(HARROW, 2017-02-28)

#221

My parents loved this pub and its distinctive name, which should be kept because it is a great asset to the district.

(Falkirk, 2017-02-28)

#226

The Case will always be The Case for me. I have lived very near to it for over 28 years

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#228

The Case, is and always will be known as The Case....let's not change history

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#229

The Case is Altered is a landmark name for a landmark pub and that is how it is known far and wide and how it should remain.

(Ruislip, Middx, 2017-02-28)

#230

The name is part of Eastcote's (and our family's) history.

(Eastcote Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#231

the case has been my families local for years. I've been coming to the pub since I was a baby. My first job was at the case. its bad enough they are changing it as much as they are. It would be nice to keep the name at least.

(London, 2017-02-28)

#232

The name of The Case is Altered is steeped in history and is a piece of our heritage which should continue .

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#233

Changing the name is unnecessary. It would feel like a loss to the community, and would be a bad start for the new owners in terms of their relationship with the locals and regulars.

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#234

It's The Case...always will be. What's the point of changing it? Learn the lesson of The Whit...sorry Pinner Arms.

(Bushey, 2017-02-28)

#236

I have lived here all my life and always know it as The Case is Altered and should retain the name

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#241

Changing the name of this historic pub will do nothing to add to it's importance in the local community .
The pub is an important part of the fabric of the area which signicance dates back hundreds of years. Changing it's name will detract rather than add to the history of this part of the county of Middlesex.

(Pinner, Middx, 2017-02-28)

#243

The Case is Altered is a historic pub with lots of great memories, changing the name just wouldn't make the place the same for me

(Northwood, 2017-02-28)

#244

I grew up in the area and it just wouldn't be the same if this historic pub was renamed, people would still refer to it as 'The case' so it would be pointless

(HAZLEMERE, 2017-02-28)

#249

The name "Case Is Altered" is believed to be a corruption of "Casa Alta". This is a historic name, probably dating back to a returning soldier from the Peninsular War, who may have used his spoils of war to open this pub. To change this name would be to vandalise local history.

(ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#251

To change the name of this pub would be an act of vandalism, showing complete ignorance of history.

(ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#252

We are opposed to the constant and unimaginative jettisoning of traditional pub names.

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#256

I've known, used and loved this pub for more than 60 years. It's always been 'The Case' and must always go on being 'The Case'. This unique and unusual name is part of the local heritage. Please don't change it!

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#261

This is a pointless change of name that serves no useful purpose and loses a bit of local history and tradition

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#263

This is my local pub and I do not want the history to be removed with a daft name change to suit making money. Community matters and it will carry on being a money spinner anyway so why ruin its history?

(London, 2017-02-28)

#264

It's a great pub but the name gives it extra significance. It makes people wonder about the origin and inspires a visit

(Ex Ruislip, now Beverley, 2017-02-28)

#266

I used to drink there in the 60's

(Aberystwyth, 2017-02-28)

#268

An historic name that should be preserved for the history of eastcote

(Eastcote pinner, 2017-02-28)

#272

As a long-term former resident of Middlesex I resent the gratuitous and unnecessary renaming of pubs and other landmarks for no apparent benefit, or to just change the name to a 'chain' brand. The same has been done on several occasions in Brighton, and there is talk of boycotting organisations which do this.

(BRIGHTON, 2017-02-28)

#275

This pub has been a very important part of my life before moving to Bognor. People down here have heard of The Case is Altered!!! It would be absolute sacrilege to change its name! Why would you want to? Ridiculous!!

(Bognor Regis, 2017-02-28)

#278

It is a historic much loved landmark. Please dont change the name

(Ruislip Manor, 2017-02-28)

#279

This is another case of change for change sake. There is no business case for changing the name in fact quite the opposite. This is genuinely part of the heritage of the local area, the Case is Altered has been used for over 100 years by members of my family it is nonsense to change the name.
The same thing happened to The Fisheries and the Royal Oak Pubs in Harefield, who's name changes were such a disaster they were forced to change them several times after removing the original name. The whole "Name" issue became a complete joke in the local community and it would be a tragedy if the same thing happened to the Case!

(Northwood, 2017-02-28)

#283

I'm signing because I want to retain the character of the area and the enjoyment

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#284

This ancient pub is part of the traditional historic character of Pinner. It has been known by this name for as long as anyone can remember and is widely known and loved by people far and wide.

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#285

We're losing enough of our history as it is

(Northwood Hills, 2017-02-28)

#287

The name has history and everyone knows that name far and wide.

(Middlesex, 2017-02-28)

#290

I'm signing this petition as the name of the Case is Altered is very historic and has been attached to this pub for at least 200 years. The pub will always be known as the Case is Altered whatever new name is given to it

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#291

My family home is just up the road and I haven't read anything that I think is a good reason to change a historic name

(Bournemouth, 2017-02-28)

#292

I am signing this petition as simply, The Case, is The Case, well known and loved - to change the name would change this character and a massive mistake.

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

Memories

(London, 2017-02-28)

#295

It's part of Middlesex History !!!

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#299

We held my nan's wake at the case is altered and I hold very fond memories of going to the case with her before she passed.

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#300

The name is distinctive. Well know and historic.

(243, 2017-02-28)

#302

This pub has been around for ever and has always been called The Case

(Ruilsip, 2017-02-28)

#303

The name is part of the pub's heritage and therefore a part of our community's history.

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#304

I'm signing because the name is historic, much loved and one of the pub's key USPs

(Rickmansworth, 2017-02-28)

#308

There's nothing wrong with the name it already has - unusual and part of local history!

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#310

I like The Case & don't think it should be renamed.

(London, 2017-02-28)

#312

i am signing this petition in support of historic integrity and to maintain the traditional name that has existed since the pub was founded almost 200 years ago. A name change will be a waste of time, effort and money. To locals and to many further afield who regularly visit and patronise the pub it will always be known and referred to as "The Case".

(Eastcote, Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#313

The Case is Altered is part of the history of the area. Not just the pub but the name as well! It's centuries old and the problem today is that companies and councils seem to be quick to get rid of our history

(Launceston, 2017-02-28)

#315

I would like the name to remain the same

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#317

The name is unique and long standing. People from all parts of the Country know of the Case is Altered.

(Ruislip, 2017-02-28)

#318

Would be such a shame to change it when it's known so well locally as The Case. It's part of Eastcotes history and a name change seems unnecessary. It will just make the regulars feel like it isn't 'their ' pub anymore.

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#322

I believe the pub name should be kept as it is part of local history,

(Hayes, 2017-02-28)

#324

Pubs are an important part of a community's identity, and a pub's name is an important part its identity. Especially one as distinct and well known as this.

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#328

Had many a good evening here. Still meet old friends here

(Brentwood Essex, 2017-02-28)

#329

The Case was my first 'pub' experience when my family moved into Eastcote 38 years ago. Those great nights with Haydon school friends will always be cherished and never forgotten. For me it will always be The Case and I hope the name will continue to be recognised.

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#332

So much is changing around us,not for the better (in my opinion).im 1of many people that know and use the case and have done for years,why change the name,if your product is as good as you'll make it out to be it won't matter, there is a lot of history around the case area we don't try to change that, Do we

The name 'The Case is Altered' is part of Eastcote's heritage

(Eastcote Middlesex, 2017-02-28)

#334

I'm signing because I am very local, living opposite and I strongly think the tradition of the name should be retained.

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#337

Why change. If it ai'nt broke do't fix it. There are hundreds of Cricketer Inns

(Yeovil, 2017-02-28)

#338

Because having lived in the area for many years and frequented this pub many times it would be nice to keep its unique name. Too many other pubs nearby have also changed their names following a refurbishment don't following their idea for name change - please!

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#341

This was my "local" in the 1960's and whilst I do not frequent it much these days, it would be outrageous if the name was changed.

(Northwood, 2017-02-28)

#342

Please don't change the name of The Case is Altered. I used to enjoy an orangeade in the garden while my father had a pint after we'd walked the dog over the cow fields, over 60 years ago. I like to visit when I visit the U.K.

(Washington, 2017-02-28)

#343

The pub is called The Case and should continue to be called The Case.

my family has lived here for 60 years and would be devastated if you change the name. It

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#348

The Case is an iconic name, very few other pubs called this in the country, why change to an other more common name when you have something unique

(Coventry, 2017-02-28)

#349

It's part of the community history.

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#350

Have many great memories from The Case since first going at '18', with both friends and family. Would be such a shame for the name to change and 200 years of history be lost.

(Guildford, 2017-02-28)

#351

As a former local and regular at The Case I strongly believe nothing would be gained from a change of name. It is always regrettable when part of local history is apparently brushed aside.

(Coventry, 2017-02-28)

#352

Heritage is important and it shouldn't be changed on a whim by some suit in an office based on 'industry practice' or, God forbid, something they've learned in a meeting. The Case is Altered should remain just that. Thanks.

(Pinner, 2017-02-28)

#353

I totally agree with the sentiments expressed in the petition and don't see any benefit to changing the name of a much loved and well-known pub

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#358

I'm signing because I believe we should keep this historic name which dates back to the Napoleonic Wars

(London, 2017-02-28)

#361

Renaming a historic pub is stupid and adds no value

(London, 2017-02-28)

#363

I don't see the reason for changing the name, it is well known locally as The Case and renaming this pub brings no benefits.

(Eastcote, 2017-02-28)

#366

I live quite close to the "The Case is Altered". I rather like the existing name and don't see any need to change it.

(PINNER, 2017-02-28)

#369

Please build on tradition, don't break with it! The name has the right to live on far beyond you and your business ever will.

(London, 2017-02-28)

#376

No reason to change the name - The Case is legendary and has many happy memories.

(Brisbane, 2017-03-01)

#380

The name has history. The curious name makes it memorable and why change it...I suspect I now why

(Pinner, 2017-03-01)

#382

The Case is Altered is unique in itself and part of local history and should keep its name forever.

(London, 2017-03-01)

The Case is Altered is a grade II listed property that has been around for 600 years with the same name. It is also a landmark.

(Pinner, 2017-03-01)

#391

I lived and went to school in and around Pinner in the 1960s and, even though I can't recall ever having visited The Case is Altered, I recall the name and its location 50 years later. That has to be worth something!

(Dumfries, 2017-03-01)

#392

The name is very unique as can be seen on the Londonist.com website and should remain.

(Pinner, 2017-03-01)

#396

Pub of my youth and I used to work there in the late 1960s

(Berkhamsted, 2017-03-01)

#397

I am signing because it is such an iconic name and every time I visit friends the Case is the first suggestion because of it's unique name, atmosphere, and lack of confusion with any other.

(Hemel Hempstead, 2017-03-01)

#400

I attended school locally and the pub is well known by name. What is the point of changing the name of a local landmark?
