Amazing that wondering what percentage of pub goers know or care who actually owns their pub is now classified as a generalisation. Some going, that!
Still, this is a thread about Weatherspoon's, so we all know exactly what sort of idiotic generalisations will turn up in no time at all, don't...
Know the landlord, yes - but not all landlords own the pub! Know who the brewery is, if it's a tied house, sure - but who actually owns the brewery? Does anyone care?
Does it? I wonder what percentage of hipsters know who owns their favoured watering hole. Or, for that matter, what percentage of pub goers give a toss about who the shareholders are in the corporate company that actually owns it.
