Very good! :lol:

They'd have been better off paying 500p a share 18 months ago.

Flogged all my Spoons shares earlier this morning for a tidy profit. Suspect it'll be a good investment again in a couple of months on an assumed dip back down to 680-690p before the next trading...

Another leasehold - feels like Timbo's plan is to prune this area. Sensibly so, what with the inevitable steep rent hikes.

Amen to that!

Closed at 781p today. I'm quite a few quid up after a buying spree over winter.

My money is on buyer's remorse from AB -and they're looking for a technical out.

On the free of tie side, I've noticed that the West Country Spoons often have Sandfords cider on keg, which you...

I've been searching and no mention of which they are. Which makes me think they may have already got a deal in place for them.

“This is a very conservative town with their noses in the air, how he [Tim Martin] is going to appeal to people like that, I don’t know.” :cool:

Not really IMO. Spoons went through a growth frenzy 1996-2006 and were opening wherever they could find a half-decent site; one opening funded the next (there's some town on the south coast where two...

Done those. No real losses there apart from the Percy Shaw which was a nice MoR Spoons with a decent view across the valley. Leased though, which I guess sealed its fate. Halifax could certainly...

For those of you who take an interest in these things, Spoons shares have been on a nosedive the last few months.

I set myself a buy price of 520 three weeks ago but scrapped that as there's no...

FACT - Phil Oakey is from Hinckley (or, as it should be pronounced, 'ink-leh')

[QUOTE=rpadam;122625]Wetherspoon believed to have sold Coal Orchard, Taunton

Oh! That's a shame as I liked that one. Taunton did seem like an unlikely town for 2x JDWs I suppose.

Brand loyalty, especially amongst the young.

The one thing to always break brand loyalty amongst the kids is cheap prices, which has worked for Timbo in the past. I suspect it'll work again here,...

Dark Fruits is a massive seller amongst the under-30's, an occasional Pub Thursday participant at my work fits that demographic perfectly and that's all she has. I bet Spoons sell more Dark Fruits...

Something that most of us with eyes and a functioning memory down south know full well - cask in terms of volume is in trouble, post (main) pandemic.

Specialist ale houses aren't too badly off,...

Objecting - all the Guardianistas and Trustafarians that infest Brizzle these days. So I'm happy :D

:lol:

Timbo is a genius and a trailblazer!

It depends where you go and how well the manager gets on with the dray (an old manager at the Baron Cadoagn used to somehow get his hands on a lot of Orkney Dark Island....)

I was in the Back of...

Mullet man is on Desert Island Discs - and worth a listen, one of their better guests

Money is in the family market. Lloyds always seemed a bit of an aberration (Tim's mid-life crisis?).

I always thought Reading/Caversham was well-served with 4!

Vote at 8.30am, arrive Spoons at 9, commence usual session.
