    “prime ministers and other legislators, in the 45 years since Wetherspoon started trading, have been dinner party goers, rather than pub goers” yeah, ok, timmy, that’s always been the case since forever. truth of the matter is timbo, shit is too expensive nowadays, it’s cheaper (and healthier) to prepare food at home, and people have finally figured out alcohol is bad for them in anything but strict moderation. the worm has turned timbot, you’re gonna need a different business model than selling overpriced pints.

      There’s many, many, criticisms of Whetherspoons but “over priced” is not one of them

        Overpriced shit perfectly describes wetherspoons though.

        Cheap it may be but I wouldn’t feed it to my dog

          The food is one thing but the drinks are all good, and great prices. They have guest ales from local-area breweries too, rather than only having nationally available stuff.

          So I honestly can’t complain about the drink.

          You pay for what you get with the food.

          I don’t go into spoons much, but I remember the drinks being reasonably priced.
