My local one, when it was built and opened (about 20 years ago), sucked the life out of the nearby traditional pubs. It ruined what once was a decent night out. Its like a ghost town now whilst everybodies cramming themselves into the Wetherspoons.

That's because they charge a reasonable price for a pint of beer.
If Spoons can do it, so can everyone else and they can stfu moaning.
My local (I'm not on the middle of town or anything, so it's not got that mark up) charges nearly six quid a pint.
It's ****ing outrageous, I'd love a Spoons nearby.
This is also why you see people who are on their arses drinking in spoons, so it's pretty much self full fulling.
Charge **** all for beer + the 'bums' of the world drink there = ****hole.

It’s about the only place you can get a beer and a bite to eat without risking penury, so yeah. Plus, they’ve cornered the mid morning tramp market.
Now I need you to say something which makes me respect your opinion so that I can read this comment and lose it again.
Cheers buddy!
Any Slug and Lettuce pub that serves 2 for 1 cocktails.
Should a special place in hell for any group taking up 20 minutes ordering them, seperate area of the bar.
They just spent £750k on their flagship in Ramsgate to make it bigger. Increasing the capacity from 1,200 to 1,400.

I simply wouldn’t go to a place I know is going to be slow because of Stacey and Tracey ordering pornstar martinis. Christmas pubs in general tend to be awful for one reason or another. People queuing at the bar because the basic etiquette of knowing who is next is gone and barmen don’t keep track. People ordering Guinness last. Coffees. People doing a food order for a group and shouting across the pub at their mate at the bar. ****ing ale drinkers asking to taste before buying. Doddery old people out with their family. Kids. Women. Becca and the girls out on a mad one in Santa hats.
I know.
People and their ****ing breathing!
How dare they go to a bar at Christmas and order food when H4H is clucking to neck another pint of wife beater!
Parasites!
Completely agree, landlords moan about the industry and lack of footfall while selling £6 pints of Carling. I bang on about my local a lot because it's ****ing brilliant and the price is fair, it's packed all the time. It's not Spoons sucking the life out of pubs it's the inability of the landlord to realise the industry has changed and that people are not willing to pay those kinds of prices for a pint.

It’s the way they do it rather than what they do. We used to have standards. We used to be a proper country.
Ive called so many thing this year that have come to pass I'm surprised you all still doubt me tbh
I don't know who you are, but you appear to be a man of wisdom. Never understood the obsession with either of those things.
