So No More Twitface For The 'spoons

[youngmafbog]

I like the 'Spoons, Beer from 1.99 a pint, cheap reasonable nosh and no ruddy music. Add to that you can use the app to order drinks (even a cup of tea) and food to be bought to your table and Tim has a winner.

I like the shuttered little world this one lives in though:

Ah, so everyone who wants to can still sit and enjoy their drink and food whilst Tweeting - all is well.

Do many bother logging on to Whetherspoons wi-fi?

You get plenty of data for your money now that I can't see many bothering.

The amount of fights that happen in his pubs every weekend..




Have you got any figures?
Been in many and not yet seen a fight.

"Think he really cares about society's problems?"

As he is an avid Brexiteer I think the answer is yes, to a degree.

Will he stop WiFi? why would he, like I said you can sit and order you drink on an app and have it bought to your table and that makes money.

As for fights in 'Spoons, I am sure in some it must happen as it even happens occasionally in 'cute' country pubs but personally I have never seen one and I am a regular in quite a few of them. Some od the Town Centre ones have security so not sure it would get that out of hand anyway.

My ipad certainly has a mobile broadband SIM card. I can connect my laptop to my phone's wifi hotspot and use the phone's data allowance. I don't use any public wifi.

"None are needed, my point has enough gravitas to stand on its own."

Ah, there is not evidence then, you made it up.

A cursory search of Google reveals there was a big punch up feb before last (2107)

Cant see a lot else.

As Barry Gardiner would say... ***

Not all tablets do HC. One of my Galaxies doesnt for a start and if you are poor and on a low tarrif or PAYG then WiFi is a boon.

Huge brawl last year

Still no proof Spath, just someone else's opinion, an opinion I have not heard anyone utter, nor have I witnessed in a 'Spoons.

Over the years I have drunk in some right dives and seen more than my fair share of brawls. But never in any 'Spoons and like I say I have frequented many across the country. I'm sure it happens as it happens in most pubs at some point, but not regularly.

[youngmafbog]

"fights happen in spoons weekly. " maybe should read "fights happen in SOME 'Spoons weekly" athough I suspect the number it happens in regularly is small. No on in business would carry on with an establishment that has to be repaired continually.

Anyway fights happen in many pubs weekly. Your point is?

[youngmafbog]

Fight happens in pub in Liverpool.

No S*** Sherlock.
