[Drinking] Wetherspoons is slashing its prices by 7.5% – but for one day only

[wuntbedruv]

The only snobby bit about the Hungry Years was if you knew at what point of the evening the solitary bowl of dirty, luke warm water was replenished, so you could get a (relatively) clean plastic glass.
Yes, I worked there....

How would the anti ' spoons mob cope with the Public bar at the Years, some of the roughest purveyors of illegal substances in Brighton practically lived there in the '70s.

Did they? I know nothing of any of that..... *cough*

I thought absolutely everyone had been threatened with violence in the Mill House

At 15 I was too young to bother with.

Anyway, we didn't drink in the public bar

 

[Me and my Monkey]

I am told that the clientele varies from place to place.

I have only been threated with violence in a pub three times. All in the Faversham 'spoons, and in the space of 40 minutes.

Blimey, that can't have been a coincidence! What did you say?

Its not the food or drink on offer that puts me off going inside, its the customers. I would not eat and drink in a spoons even if they were giving it away free.

You won't be missed

Beyond the fact HT has put his spinning rod to use her and has caught the usual Mackerel I don't recognise the clientele of my most visited 'spoons West Street And North Street and assumed the older rougher Marina crowd were off the fishing fleet.

Who needs 'Spoons when you can go to one of these cool places where all stroke their beards over a pint of Stoats Knackers Yellow Extra?

I think it's reputation was somewhat worse than the reality, which was a few young kids having a good time. I was a regular for a couple of years in the mid 70s before getting banned by Peppa claiming I was one of said 'rough purveyors of illegal substances'.

At the time I was banned, I was still under 18 FFS, hardly 'El Chapo'

Gosh, I thought down South were a bit more up-market.

We have two Spoons in Telford and both are reasonably up-market [measured buy the apparent class of the clientele].
Indeed, Saturdays, before 11am, for a full English and bottomless coffee for me & Mrs SS for under £12 [for both] is a treat to behold.

Maybe your standards have slipped since you've gone 'oop north ?

Although, from what I remember, maybe not

Top bombing by the OP but the truth is there are Spoons, and then there are other Spoons.

Drank in The Rocket before Fulham. Cheap beer, full of Brighton, outside tables overlooking Putney Bridge and The Thames. What's not to like?

There was one in Birmingham that we walked in and turned round less than two feet into the door. There are boxers' conventions where the audience look less threatening and have more teeth.

And the food IS terrible. It just is.

I've drank many times in both of those establishments as I'm married to a Telford Lass.
I was only last weekend in the William Withering in Wellington.

You sure that isnt a cheese?

 

[Questions]

Don’t the Palace fans head for Spoons in West Street when we play. That says it all.for me.

Gosh, I'm impressed you think I had a standard !!

Yes, the WW @ W is the better of the two - think I was in there about 10;30 last Saturday too.
Once a month, or so, I'll go there with an old work mate and we'd drink too much cheap Stella and grab a kebab before seeking a cab home - makes me feel young again without consuming too much of my pension..
