Back on topic..... I remember a time in Spoons dairn sairf. In London on a mate's stag. Can't recall if it was Charing Cross Road or Leicester Square. Anyhow, a load of us were in there fresh off the train from the Motherland. We'd started on cans at about 8am, as you do. Strong and steady all the way down on the Virgin. A stream of other passengers leaving our carriage as the volume increased So in Spoons one lad was dropping his guts summit rotten (literally!) and to cut a long story short, he followed through..... Bags were dumped at the hotel by this point. So he had to waddle to a nearby Tk Max and buy some fresh kecks, with the old ones deposited in the bogs at Spoons. Funny thing is, when he came back down fresh a's a daisy he said his weren't the only shitted boxers in thereWelcome to daytime Wetherspoons Makes a change that you weren't the one shedding your garms, mate! Wishful thinking on your part I think

"that's all they have" Surely 10 pints a day is enough for anybody isn't it? You wouldn't want them to be having more, would you?

Is it any different than shopping on a week day? That costs money too.

If you are one of these i apologise in advance and yes not everyone in there is the same. I have a question though. Yesterday i finished work and now have the rest of the week off. Ive taken Annual leave. Had to come to Hanley for a few things today. Stood near to Reginald Mitchell. I noticed a few men outside smoking with pints in hand. They have clearly had a few by the way they are acting. This got me thinking. Ive been passed other weatherspoons in the week before once again when ive had time off. So to my question. How do these people afford and have the time to sit in the pub all day drinking. I appreciate some will work nights and come in for a couple. It just seems there are quite a few that regularly drink in the week all day by the looks of it. I just dont know how they get by. You lost me when you said you'd walked PAST a spoons on more than one occasion. ;-)

£20 a day alcohol allowance buys you 10 pints a day in Spoons. Meanwhile poorer pensioners have to choose between heating and eating, much less afford a night out. Are we talking allowance as in benefit?

He's been peddling this bollocks for a while now and it seems he/she is the only one that finds it remotely amusing or interesting It's almost as amusing as the hilarious and not at all tedious 'Waggy' character. The Holocaust was funnier than both of these boring shitheads. I now don't read any thread that waggy contributes to...This " Trevor / Colin " Bollocks is just so predictably tedious.

Aside from this 'character' there's only that christopherandhisfuckingmum I really can't be arsed with. I miss ChristopherandHisMum. Great Poster(s). Character based comedy is hit and miss. For every Alan Partridge, there are 15 Mrs Browns Boys. On here I like most of them. The other one I found amusing was the small welsh bloke with high pitched voice, 'Dai Laughing' or something, the had daffodils as his icon and was always recycling Max Boyce jokes, saying "theres lovely" and fancying Shirley Bassey/Charlotte Church.

I can usually find at least some value in these invented characters but this one and the Christopher one I just find very boring.

The Auctioneer is the place to go in Hanley. Just take your shopping list in there and someone will go order picking for you.

I also like the one in Stoke but after a bad pint of Thatchers Gold that a rude barmaid refused to exchange I'm a bit reticent to go in there again. I'm not a fan of being forced to buy 2 pints just because the first one was shit no matter how cheap a place is.

When she was younger, I used to take my daughter for band practice (clarinet in a concert band, not a budding Suzi Quattro) on Saturday mornings. Got there at 9.00 and then straight into the local Spoons for a good value breakfast and a mug of tea. It always amazed me how many blokes, most of them over fifty and looking reasonably respectable, were already on at least the second pint.
