Wetherspoon's news of the day

Oh, 'ob' I thought you knew me better than that! We need an emoticon for heavy sarcasm.

Being a miserable old git I don't do subtle (as you may have noticed)

I'd love a jaunt round Otley at some stage. As you say not the easiest place to get to since the 'Beeching Axe', but not quite as grim as I thought. Train to Menston, then 967 to Otley. Alternatively, the X84 service from Leeds.

I was thinking about the Wednesday after Xmas, after the bank holidays and before the horrors of NYE, depends on the weather of course. PM me if you think it's a goer.

Sorry, 'ob'. I already know it's a non-starter. Have family descending Tue-Fri. Will take a raincheck.

Unfortunately it looks like Tim and his gang have had to pull out of this venture in Shaw, nr Oldham. Shame really Shaw could do with some descent non J.W.Lees real ale.

Oldham is notorious for anti-drink / neo-pro behaviour so it's not very surprising.

It also has a rep for being one of the most drunk fuelled town centres around.

The more you crack down the worse it becomes?
