Wetherspoon's news of the day

[Spinko]

I had a similar experience last summer at White Horse. What is it with these solipsistic t***s who think that they can behave however they like, that all around should put up with their behaviour? "We were gobsmacked and have been annoyed ever since.", the victims of Bhopal share your pain.

But Mr Robson said: "We would like an apology to clear our names". Perhaps they should employ the services of Gareth Pierce?

Playing videos on phones in pubs, and giving a smartphone to pacify a kid...meanwhile annoying everyone in earshot.

Amen to that!

Yup. And those in 'quiet pubs' who think it's ok to prop up a phone against a glass and watch the football with the sound on full, the whole sounding like static. If only there were a pub chairman who banned phones and children...???

No no no.He had a drink in only 85% of them so if it was my rules he failed .doesn't have to be an alcoholic drink but until he clarifies the 85% statement he is just a publicity seeker

Ferndown for the chop

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

Never heard of Loungers...

They have well over 200 bars. Same company as Cosy Club which tend to be in cities. Lounges tend to be in towns.

e.g. Prospero Lounge

Could do with a picture and a review if you're passing.

This one Ostello Lounge is actually in an old Wetherspoons.

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 update.

Less sure about Loungers - I did look at getting some of theirs a while back but I do wonder how solid they are as a concern. But they do seem to be building a middle-class mum version of JDW.
