    Great news.

    I think I was on a consecutive run of five Wetherspoons I'd walked out of solely due to loudspeakers and videos being played.

    I bet they've caused loads of fights.

    A radio report said "first pub group to ban mobile phones". Someone is revolving in his grave...
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Mr Humphrey would close the graveyard if he caught anyone revolving in it.

    Interesting that Wetherspoons are ahead of the curve again, judging by public comment.

    They brought in non-smoking areas before the overall phase out nationwide...yes, some were a useless bit of rope, but others decent.

    ...Wetherspoon pubs are an oasis of tranquillity and contemplation.
    ...as the all-day drinker contemplates who to thump. Or the sea of tranquility that is the White Swan, where shoplifters try to peddle salmon half-inched from the local Tesco.

    It isn't. Rotating Humphrey did it aeons ago, as he charts a curve through his grave.

    I know!

    Doesn't beat the Valentine's Day I spent in the Alfred (W9) sitting opposite a young couple who spent the entire evening glued to their individual screens.
