Mynah Bird at the Duke of Cambridge Pub


Recommended Posts

I can recall my Dad saying that whenever he visited the Duke of Cambridge pub at the corner of Carlton Road and Clarence Street the pub's mynah bird would chirp up and say 'What will you have to drink me duck?'. This would be in the 1950s or 1960s and I think the licencee was called Mrs Plackett. Does anyone have any memory of this talking bird?
