Oh dear, I'd better avoid our sitting room too 😁

You re-heat bought in food in plastic bags in your sitting room? Oh wow.

I think it was obvious that Allira was referring to the football in connection with her sitting room - not reheating sous-vide packed food

I want some now.

Just think - no messy oven, dirty hob.
Little washing up!

I have no problem with avoiding Wetherspoons. Wonder why the news media are no longer interviewing Tim Martin on a daily basis for advice on how to run the economy?

LOL, I thought it funny , sorry you have nsoh ;)

I went away with my daughter to Llandudno and ate in the Spoons every night. It's a beautiful pub, an old music hall. One night we both had fish and chips and a lovely peach schnapps cocktail it cost us £20 altogether! Nothing wrong with a Spoons

I like the Spoons now and then, the steak is lovely especially on the day it is reduced. I love eating out and use all types of restaurants.
I do think there is some snobbery attached to the Spoons. I will use them next when I get my car MOT'd.

I went into Wetherspoons in Sunderland (brave I know) with friends for coffee, before a photography walk.
The coffee cost £1 and the pub was full of retired people having a whale of a time socialising with their friends.
It was 10.30am on a rainy Wednesday morning.

sorry you have nsoh ;)
Sez who

I also have no problem avoiding Wetherspoons 😂 Much prefer a nice Garden Centre Cafe.

And that great you can afford it....but for some £1.71 for as many hot drinks as you want is as much as they can afford

We have been to that Wetherspoons, it’s lovely, isn’t it.
After that we went to the big pub on the corner where it was a Karaoke night. Back to my council house roots 😂

Our Garden Centre shuts at 5.30 pm and the restaurant even earlier.

Some of us prefer to us local independent cafés, restaurants and pubs- serving local foods, cooked by a Chef, fresh, on the premises. Those who support local farming, pay taxes, and use local staff. And the owner of WSpoons is obnoxious and vile- so best avoided, irrespective of other factors. Fair enough.

Yes, but you can't watch the football!!

He's done an awful lot for churches

As a chain restaurant they vary, but have to say that generally they’re good, and of course very good value for money.

We went to see 10cc in Halifax, decided to have couple of drinks in the WS there, like sitting in a goldfish bowl, huge windows looking over the valley- pure magic. Heard that that WS was closing down. A travesty in my opinion.

Do you know Tim Martin personally then?

I think he campaigned for Brexit.
That will be the reason.

Wetherspoons do vary; we've had very good meals and dreadful meals. Our local one is quite busy, I believe but not great.

Even top chefs use sous vide food, including some famous ones.

Wetherspoons has shaken up the pub food and drink industry in the UK

Ooh that's a bit of a coincidence...
Surely not.....

Amazing how all roads lead to Brexit Rome it seems...
.

For some it does Rosie, others have more to think about.
I like our local Wetherspoons, only go in now and then and in the day, it's spotless, staff lovely and for fast food it's good.

We have a Marston's Pub here which is much better and very popular.

Tim Martin was a Brexit supporter and is right wing so of course that those facts alone would automatically make him ‘obnoxious and vile’ to those of a certain mindset.

For any who may have missed it on the other thread, this caught my eye when buying birthday cards yesterday
