    Default Pub Histories

    Not spotted it previously, but there are some interesting details in the 'Pub Histories' page on the 'spoons website:

    https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pub-histories

    (Mostly copied directly from the information panels in the pubs concerned, but still interesting...)

    Can anyone guess what I would say to a scumbag journalist that approached me in a JDW (or anywhere else for that matter!).

    I have it but haven't tried it yet, a blogger wrote that he got a drink within 3 minutes so it's got to be worth a go.

    This time of year would be good test, if you can live that long

    Not tried, nor likely too, but I foresee problems, order on app lunchtime Christmas Eve, money taken electronically, still waiting with wailing kids at tea time, sans food & drink ordered and paid for
    I drink to make others more interesting

    Precisely! Most outlets struggle to keep up with orders from the bar. If you've ever read any of Tim Martin's editorials in Wetherspoon News this won't come as any surprise as he seems to be completely incapable of thinking anything through.

    The whole idea makes this chains outlets even less real pubs than they already are, ( not).
