Jeeez .
Just my luck. What a time to go on the wagon. Fizzy water and PLJ has been my tipple for the last month.

[emmie]

bet some of the pubs were packed out...

[diddlydo]

Another good reason to avoid Wetherspoons like the plague.

[emmie]

i like Wetherspoons they are a good chain of pubs.

Diddly //Another good reason to avoid Wetherspoons like the plague.//
Why is that, have you an objection to pigs in blankets or alcoholic drinks?

[Old_Geezer]

They vary, but most are often packed out.
Many are noisy as a result, but one can find quiet times at one's local.
For a chain, they ain't bad. Depends on what one is looking for.

[emmie]

often a quiet one, but we have a local bar that takes that to the extreme..

[diddlydo]

Sticky floors, disgusting cheap food, rowdy clientele, zero atmosphere - how many more reasons would you like?

[dannyk13]

Diddly, so you have visited every Wetherspoon's establishment then?

[emmie]

we can't all have a decent non chain pub on our doorstep. I wish there was a Wetherspoons in my area, but there isn't.

[Zacs-Master]

Off to Leeds later. Might have to partake.

[diddlydo]

Danny - any that I've been into when desperate have been like that.

[dannyk13]

So why did you keep going back to them?

//Sticky floors, disgusting cheap food, rowdy clientele, zero atmosphere //

Well, diddly, in order to make that assessment you've either visited many branches - which would suggest your first, second, third, etc., experiences couldn't have been so bad - or you've misread the sign outside and have gone to a greasy spoon by mistake.

[emmie]

there is that of course, you must have been in a fair few to give that assessment.

[dannyk13]

I think Diddly's original post was more to do with JD celebrating Brexit rather the condition of his pubs.

[TheDevil]

How can you say there is no atmosphere then go on to describe a negative atmosphere?

[diddlydo]

I've been in a few when e.g.in god-forsaken places and they've been the only place open on Sunday lunchtime or I've been invited by colleagues to join them for a drink after a meeting and a Spoons is the nearest pub.

[naomi24]

//in god-forsaken places //

Outer Mongolia, Antarctica, the Amazonian jungle, or that little remote Remainer village somewhere in the wilds of Oxfordshire?

[diddlydo]

No Naomi - Lincolnshire. There are some great pubs in Oxfordshire.
