When did they start playing in black pyjamas? In our day there were splendidly-moustachioed chaps in immaculate whites (proper creases were worn while at the crease). They never had first names or nicknames, just initials and a surname.
WG must be turning in his mausoleum.
Three points.

Poosie Nansie’s (no sniggering at the back!) was a regular haunt for Rabbie Burns. It’s the setting of his poem “The Jolly Beggars” and is where he met his future wife, Jean. (It may also have been a brothel)
It is a category B listed building.

Nice one Joe
Of a’ the airts the wind can blaw,
I dearly like the West;
For there the bony Lassie lives,
The Lassie I lo’e best:
There’s wild-woods grow, and rivers row,
And mony a hill between;
But day and night my fancy’s flight
Is ever wi’ my Jean.
I see her in the dewy flowers,
I see her sweet and fair;
I hear her in the tunefu’ birds,
I hear her charm the air:
There’s not a bony flower that springs
By fountain, shaw, or green;
There’s not a bony bird that sings
But minds me o’ my Jean.

No outside tables 
Never mind, three points.
We have just been on a wee internet trawl for more information about the place and came across this:
in the hostility in Mauchline in Scotland known as Poosie Nancy’s.
We have had the odd challenging look in a few Scottish pubs but we wouldn’t call them outright hostile …

Their first mistake was
“I sauntered over to the good lady of the hostelry and ordered a half of cider”
A half of cider? In Scotland? Fook me, lucky they wernae takin ootside and beat tae a pulp. Fuckin’ half cider indeed

Points taken, its annoying google show that as its only during the Jazz festival at the old duke that the area is cordoned off.
All other times the area is for all three pubs, as indeed when I can be bothered to go to central Bristol as this is my first call.
Will need to get my position and timing right, but be prepared for another drone shot of Bristol’s most famous pub!

Thanks for understanding our reasoning. We hope you haven’t been too badly damaged by our rough handling on your first submission to the Challenge, unfortunately we have to be tough but (hopefully) fair as there is more at stake than just boasting rights as in our normally fortnightly or monthly challenges.
Please do re-submit the picture with a bit more pub and a little less of the surrounding buildings. Good luck!

There is no restriction on capturing the same subject in the same location as another contestant.
Otherwise young Kirky would not have been allowed his picture of Stourhead taken from the same location as DroneGeek had used for the same subject the day before.
Go ahead, fill yer boots!
