I use them at Gatwick and Heathrow....and coincidentally I’m literally sat in the LHR branch as I type this drinking a pint. Having read what this prick is now saying I’ll finish up and go elsewhere I think.

I daresay it'll generate a predictable plaintive chorus of "Lies, lies, all lies". I expect they will then retreat into their bubble in which Tim Martin is classified as thick as shit, if not positively a swivel-eyed loon, in spite of the fact that he is clearly not, and runs a highly successful business (which is well set up to thrive after Brexit).

I thought it was a good read. :thumbsup:

I presume you have not seen what he looks like? If you’re clever you don’t allow yourself to look like that.

Just been reading his pronouncements today. His business is losing profit, boardroom in turmoil and he is blaming everyone, and everything except.....can you guess? Yes, himself. What a prick.

I've just had the latest edition of the Wetherspoons magazine pushed through my letterbox by the postman. Crammed full of Brexit stuff it's more a political paper than a paper about beer. I don't subscribe to it so is Tim Martin sending copies to everyone?

The pages of my copy are stuck together - thanks for summarising the contents.

I’ve refused to hand over any of my money to that dick for a long time. Brexit notwithstanding, terrible working conditions, crap pay (minimum wage), zero hours contracts, no sick pay and rank hypocrisy when most of his employees are EU citizens anyway, make Weatherspoons an easy place to boycott.
He and his fellow Brexiteers are aiming for an economic libertarian dream whereby he can add to his £500m fortune at the expense of everyone else, keep it offshore, safe from the EU and its forthcoming tax crackdown . Hope the **** gets his comeuppance.

It’s going to be funny when the hard working EU Labour runs out and the has to turn to lazy thick Brits to stuff his pubs. He won’t have to go too far as most of them will be on the other side of the bar blowing their benefits :lolol:

Your final sentence makes me wonder if you know more about him than you are letting on!!

So if it was crammed full of remain scaremongering it would be ok then ????

Just seems bizarre that a PLC purely focused on the UK market

They've 5 (and 3 under construction) in Ireland, which I'm assuming will sell no food and about 10% of their current tap lineup (Jaipur and Punk) imminently!

The drop in the value of Sterling put an end to their expansion in Ireland and put the three currently being built on hold for prolonged periods of time - but they resumed recently and have opening dates declared for them all I think. One near my office should bring the price of cask down in the specialist pubs nearby I hope.
