💨 Abstract

A Greene King pub in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, named 'The Midget', was set to be renamed due to complaints that the name was offensive to people with dwarfism. However, a counter-petition to keep the original name has received support from 3,000 people, arguing that it is part of the town's history. The pub was named after the MG Midget EX 127 car, which was once manufactured in the town.
