last time i was in a "spoons" was last summer when i had dropped the car off for some work in the morning, and walked along to the metro centre for some breakfast, it was ok i suppose for the price, better then a greasy hoggy-wagon in a layby!

I can be free beer and 1p for food and i'd still rather not go in there. Somehow I always feel dirty in wetherspoons, or yates for that matter.
Maybe its just the ones in my town which are like that?

When the local "Spoons" opened in my neighbourhood, it dragged in all the alco's, dolies, single mums and drop-outs from all the neighbouring vicinities. No wonder the house prices around here have suddenly dropped by 17% since it's been open, compared to the other neighbourhoods luckily not to have a "spoons" near by.
Go on, Lewis. Tell us how "spoons" have/haven't devalued house prices while you buy shares in them.

In their defence, Wetherspoons have done more to promote quality, affordable real ales than any other town centre pubs, and they had proper smoke-free areas well before the smoking ban came in. Full masks to them for that - and it's not as though they have a monopoly on cringeworthy customers.

They dont seem to have GENTS toilets, just GENTS toilets with women/slappers in them.
The Bar Staff have complained about the health implications of serving the masses at our local WS, so the management have imposed an exclusion zone around the bar....get served QUICK then **** off to the sticky carpet area.
The locals call it the RAF bar.
I didnt know why for a while until I was told it was the Rough As **** bar.
Always chocca block though....where there's muck, there's brass.

They are often making a loss by selling it so cheaply once you include running costs etc but they plan on only selling 5 drinks at 99p out of the whole range which they offer.
The basic idea is to get people in and hope they stay, when the stock of cheap drink runs out, as the customers are too lazy to go elsewhere.
