On reputation, my first guess would be Wetherspoon pubs.What organisation has branches all over the UK, many of which are buildings converted from the following uses, bank, church, cinema, coaching inn, multi-storey carpark, post office, theatre ?
Quite correct. Your national institution / hate object.On reputation, my first guess would be Wetherspoon pubs.
There is Nelson's Tower in Forres.Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square is well known to everyone. Can you name the other places in the UK that have Nelson memorials (statues count)? A bonus point for the living memorial.
(There are a lot more than I thought, so the winner is the person with the most correct answers by the time we all get bored with the question)
Unless the town of Nelson in South Wales counts...
I apologise. I was away and I thought I had posted the answer before I left. It was still on the page.@Marton , would you be able to satisfy our curiosity?
That's reminded me of one that's been gotten rid of (in a spectacular fashion): Nelson's Pillar in Dublin, now replaced with a spire. It's no longer in the UK, anyway.Nelson's needle, Porchester (nr Portsmouth)
Bull Ring Birmingham
Nelson monument Glasgow

Hm. I wonder why that post didn't remind me of it?Ah... please see my post #11711
There's an IMO fine song on the subject: my linking skills are poor -- thus have to say, Google "Lord Nelson stood in pompous state"
Who was I?
Australian born, moved to the USA and received a career boost thanks to Alfred Hitchcock
co starred with Elizabeth Taylor in what was originally a Broadway play
Another casting involved gender reversal
Appeared in a Star Trek film
Finally became associated with a certain US city, both in a professional capacity and retired there
bonus points for identifying the films & programmes involved
no, I said co star. However, and this might give the game away, the Birds and the film I am referring to are based on a story and novel by the same UK writer
