General election 2015

A 99.7% drop, apparently.

^There must have been, somewhere in Lewisham West for one brief hour on the 7th a Weatherspoons lacking it's most committed mentals.

Isn't this a bit "let's tweet a picture of a common person's white van and cheap house"?

Have you ever been in a Wetherspoons?

At eight in the morning?

And watched Monday Dave tuck into a meat pie while double fisted with some flat Carling's?

This isn't tweet a piccy of something that can be shoehorned into a stereotype. This is Wetherspoons.

Especially Lewisham Wetherspoons, last time I was in there police stormed in and cornered some bloke in the toilets.

Wetherspoons are great. And the one in Hackney is the only "pub" in Hackney that employs local black bar staff. I'd also eat a pasty from Greggs.

Eight in the morning it's normally the large breakfast with a morning roll on the side.

Washed down with a couple of flat Carlings though.

This whole thread is full to the gills of this sort of shit.

If you want some cheap steaks you can usually find a few "characters" in Wetherspoons in Greenwich that have a selection of M&S meat products on sale before the security guard gets to work at the Simply Food store. They don't actually put any beef joints on the shelf until he's in the shop. #trufax

I bet Labour get super Blarite now.
My more optimistic side hopes for some left wing unification and that there is now increased interest from younger people.

At least Labour won't be blamed for the 2017 recession.

From the article quoted earlier, any lurch to the centre might cause Unite to up sticks and take all the union money with them. Labour Party goes bust immediately.

My local wetherspoons does guest ales for £2/pint less than in town, hipster beers in little tins and Guinness for less that £3 per pint. You can sit down and there are no management consultants in there shouting. Food is rank tho. I sometimes still eat there.

Even the beer snobs get snotty when they do craft beers with "their" fave US brewers.

with bad spelling...

My parents used our house as a London holiday home last summer when we were away. They spent the week eating out at all the Wetherspoons on the 358 bus route (using their free bus travel pensioner perk).

Mentalists.

Ratty and 606 - you are more than welcome to go to the local Weatherspoons, I won't say a word against it if it upsets you, and it's in a rather fine art-deco building, which contrasts nicely against the piss-stained lunatics smoking outside it 24/7.

Wetherspoons in Leeds do Brewdog This. Is. Lager at £2.85 a pint.

The Brewdog in Leeds do it at £4.35 a pint.

I'll skip the Hipster Tax for that to be honest.

If my parents do the same this year I'll point them in the direction of the Forest Hill Wetherspoons. It'll take 2 bus routes to get there though, which might be a deal breaker.

fox on the hill camberwell, late summer last year, mrak, TS, reej matt and a pile of grade A. best day / night ever.

Well, that's Monday Dave in one of his calmer moments. Probably the brief period of bliss between cramming the last of the charred pastry in his gub-hole and when the gravy kicks in and Knitty Laz asks him if he's read the paper.

made me do a desk-lol. oops.
in Catford we've got the Black Horse and Harrow, which is a recently refurbished spoons-a-like that doesn't display whatever chain it's part of anywhere. Last time we were there someone shat himself at the bar. not the first time, apparently.

(the staff there are lovely though)

^ I hope that review's on tripadvisor.

Many years ago now I was in the Winchesterspoons, chap at the bar in white jeans was trying to chat up my brothers girlfriend, apparently oblivious to the fact that he was also in the process of pissing himself prodigiously, turning one leg of his bright white jeans a dull grey, with a fast spreading pool surrounding his feet.

Hilarious. They could have beat this Buzzfeed journalist to it:
