Some ned burds are utter filth and are grateful if you go to the effort of not wiping your cock on the curtains before you leave. Pretty easily pleased. For that reason alone i must disagree.
Not quite. It's more a west coast and Weegie thing. Schemies in Edinburgh. Plus, there's no such word as non-educated.
Aye, there's a slight irony in that (purportedly) educated people use a non-existent word to describe (purportedly) uneducated people.
I think that's been shopped but I'm sure there's a grain of truth there. Talking of Wetherspoons: I've heard from an anonymous source that the reason they can sell you real ale for £1.89 whereas everywhere else it's over £3 is that they buy stuff that's on the way out. Having drunk extensively in Cambridgeshire and having had plenty of "offish" pints in the Whittlesey branch of Wetherspoons, I think there might be a grain of truth in that claim. My advice to the Londonderry boys is to buy one pint of each ale on tap when you go in and see which ones are worth continuing with.
My local Wetherspoons on the Holloway Road was originally a Art Deco cinema,I love architecture and ****ers in London and Dublin knocked them all down for shopping centres,brown envelopes wink wink,****s
You do that, they sell good pints and terrible pints. I can't understand people who go out and spend good money on some mass-produced **** when there are decent beers to be had if you know where to look.
You know the one and in fairness they kept the structure,amazing just looking up and around the place,is it still like that?
When I lived in London brought the sister and brother-in-law to a beer festival in Walthamstow(wetherspoons),frothy warm stuff and him from Wilthshire he knew his onions,4 x ale he had me drinking,the first couple tough but got into after about 5!
I do. The Coronet. I think I'd be telling fibs If I said I remembered I as the cinema. I did see my first ever movie just up the street though at the Odeon. If I remember rightly it was opened on StPatricks weekend in 96. The Quays opened at a similar time, the Gresham was still open and the Archway Tavern, old mother red cap and the Whittington & Cat meant the whole of holloway road was busy. Nobody was going to the Gresham any more apart from on Paddies weekend. Everyone was in the nightclub upstairs in the Archway. The coronet felt weird. It still felt like a cinema.
@stopme I can confirm your claim about 'spoons selling beer close to its sell-by date is correct. Other budget pub chains (Last Orders, Samuel Smith, Joseph Holt) also do this I believe.
Out of curiosity I had a look to see if there was any real ales anywhere other than Wetherspoons here... I don't think there is tbh. You would like a bar called Masons though.
