ozjohn Posted September 26, 2023 Posted September 26, 2023 I remember visiting Spon St. in Coventry on a trip to the UK. The link gives a bit more information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spon_Street . I also noticed there is a Wetherspoons' pub called the Spon Gate that boasts an Indian restaurant. Quote
blakeyboy Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 Have I missed the reason why Spon Gate is being brought up? (The Goons had 'spon' as being 'a grey-green metal, mined in agony by the inhabitants of the Urals' ...if I remember correctly...) 1 Quote
