Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE RAILWAYS are commemorated on many an inn sign but the "Leyland Tiger" at Earnshaw Bridge is, so far as I know, the first pub to take its name from a commercial vehicle.

Greenall Whitley has spent £100,000 on transforming the interior into a town's square with half-a-dozen "buses" waiting for passengers. Customers step aboard raised areas and look through the bus windows on to a central oval bar. For diners there is a transport café. Pictures of the first Tiger of 1927 and the latest 1982 model adorn the walls.

Some people say that brewers have been taking the public for a ride for years, but I can think of no More pleasant way than this of doing it. Esso may no longer put a tiger in the tank but Greenall Whitley is surely putting one in the bank.
