A mate of mine does a trip to a big gig every year with his mates and all his mates want to do is find a Wetherspoons and drink in it until the gig starts. Off to amazing cities in the UK and all they want to do is hit up Spoons. They haven’t been cleaned, if that helps? I was in the one at George Square in Glasgow the other week. It was fine. I mean, a bit shite, but fine. Big outdoor seating area, under cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Spoons is fine for a cheap pint but anyone going there for food will be first in line if we ever cull the population. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t know - i got unfairly labelled as a spoons enthusiast a few years ago because I recommended the counting house as a good boozer but I couldn’t tell you when I was last inside of one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 They do a decent breakfast. They’re the McDonald’s of pubs. One in every town in the UK, all pretty similar and all places where culture goes to die. But still, they have their place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 As far as chains of pubs go, Wetherspoons is about the best going. The competition is pub-themed readymeal cafes (Brewers Fayre, Harvester etc) or pretend irish pubs. It's just that chains by their nature eliminate the local character and variety of proper pubs, good and bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I watched a documentary about Wetherspoons and they got an Indian chef to rate their curries. It surprisingly came out favourably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Can't believe what I'm reading here, all Wetherspoons are absolute soulless holes and folk that actively choose to go there are usually the types with the personality of a cardboard box, also owned by a mega c**t. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to amazing cities in the UK and all they want to do is hit up Spoons. I know so many people like that. My previous job involved a fair amount of travelling to places like Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle. My colleagues always wanted to eat in Nando's and drink in 'spoons, despite there being so many options available. Cost wasn't even a factor as we could claim expenses. I suppose some people are just narrow minded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Princess Pogen is off on various foreign adventures for the next two months, maybe longer. As we said our goodbyes, she told me she loved me and I reciprocated. Couple of hours later I was at the supermarket checkout and as the (male) cashier handed me my receipt, he said 'Enjoy the rest of your day'. I responded by saying 'I love you.' I intended to say 'Thank you.' Fortunately, we both saw the funny side.................................. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son likes a meal in Wetherspoon. He's a kid, and they're cheap. What can I say. The amusing thing about them is that they're always trying to force propaganda down their customers' throats. The latest was a magazine on every table about the terrible lies that the press have been telling about them treating their staff like shit. Didn't read it, obviously, but I trust it was suitably tear-stained and frothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I asked my mate whose daughter worked there and she was furloughed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something odd about the furlogh. Didn’t he fire them before furlogh was announced, then re-hire them but say they wouldn’t get paid until he got the money from the government? Can’t remember the exact details but do remember him out-cunting even himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
