You can't really compare Wetherspoons prices with normal pubs. Wetherspoons buy knock off booze on the cheap which is near enough out of date, hence they can sell it cheaply.

The thing about the sell by dates isn't true. They just buy a lot of it, have staying power so people want to supply it, and it's what their customers want.

Gin and Tonic does piss me off with those poncy little bottles. Just splash some tonic water in ffs.

Most people drinking in Wetherspoons are alcoholics

Dreadful places but ok on an away trip

The Dunraven in Bridgend is a death hole

I don't think spending money on cheap booze at 3 pm on a Tuesday afternoon is the sign of a discerning customer

These people are piss artists giving their dollar to a brexit tory twat who would set them on fire if he could make money out of the ashes

The irony here being that you

A / are being infinitely more insulting to the customers than the owner ever has.

B / Sound like you have been drinking all day in the Dunraven in Bridgend.

Nothing wrong with affordable beer Sludge. Many wouldn't be able to socialise without it, especially in some city centres.

I am more than happy to insult the boring beer soaked clowns who spend all down drinking and telling tedious stories whilst propping up the bar in wetherspoons

One of the biggest problems in this country is people using alcohol to socialise

Far better to go to a community cafe and have a few cups of tea and far less hassle

But in the toilet , not in the cafe ?

Re: The cost of drinking local

If. I had a few cups of tea I would be in trouble toilet all the time anyway, so that solves that problem.

That's not correct. Their beer is cheaper because of economies of scale.

These people who go to weatherspoons to save money on booze

Why don't they drink less alcohol and go for lunch with friends more often ?

Egg and chips and a cup of tea and a chat down Mario's Italian cafe is a lot cheaper than 20 quid on the lager every other lunchtime
