BV, wine soaked, or not, I completely agree with you. The name is historical but not significant enough for it to be regarded as a national treasure. Its time has passed and I think this replacement is sympathetically done enough to show the significance to the event in 1943 but not to cause offence. I’d rather have this new plaque than wait a while longer and have the original vandalised by some oik and it splattered all over Faceagram for effect. Let’s face it, we’ve allsniggered at its ‘naughtiness’ for years so we knew its time was over.
