To worry about all the single men in Wetherspoons..

Hello, this is kind of light-hearted but also I do seriously wonder sometimes about how many of the lical wetherspoons drinkers/ breakfast eaters are men on their own. Sometimes it looks like a men's hostel at breakfast, but with alcohol for some.

It makes me wonder about how many people there are who don't make it to wetherspoons, and where they are.

Does anyone else notice this?

Lanark "Its like a waiting room for death"

my parents would say the same about their dinner parties. But that's because they still have a sense of humour, in spite of being nearly 80.....

They would be baffled by your comments too tbh.

The could unblock their chakras though, surely.

this had made me curious
is brekkie nice at Wetherspoons?

I've only ever had the award winning sausages as mentioned earlier Grin

Lanark I have no idea whether you are reading any replies or answering questions, but if Wetherspoons is causing you this much angst I would avoid it til you feel better.

"Its like a waiting room for death, as though they can't remember how to be human outside work.."

There are plenty of different ways to be human...Some people like to have a bit of quiet time with a pint or cooked breakfast and the paper. Nothing wrong with that.

"After a spa though one feels healthier, after a wetherspoons I feel clogged and a bit headachy.."

I find it odder that you seem to spend so much time in Wetherspoons observing the people in there when it makes you feel clogged, headachy and sad.

I say she's pissed and having us on Grin

Lanark2 · 27/02/2016 19:43

I don't spend that much time in there.. It has a good toilet.

ElderlyKoreanLady · 27/02/2016 19:45

Yep, she's pissed. Or high. People worry about odd things when they're high. Like the emotional wellbeing of strangers eating breakfast. Or Wetherspoons being the waiting room for hell.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 19:46

I might be wrong but I thought OP was a man. Blush

lorelei9 · 27/02/2016 19:46

yes, the mention of chakras means she's having us on Grin

wannabetennisplayer · 27/02/2016 19:47

Maybe they're there to admire the quality of the toilets too but felt obliged to buy something first Grin

Vintage45 · 27/02/2016 19:48

You might be right there Sparkling. Now you've mentioned it.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 19:49

It's very cheeky to use the loo if not purchasing anything IMO.

Vintage45 · 27/02/2016 19:50

At my age, cheeky or not, I dip in anywhere with a toilet these days!

SurferJet · 27/02/2016 19:51

I've just realized Lanark is the op.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 19:52

Well as long as you can sleep at night Vintage. Wink

Vintage45 · 27/02/2016 19:54

In-between getting up for a wazz that is Sparkling Grin

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 19:55

Trip to the GP in order if that's the case....

Vintage45 · 27/02/2016 19:56

Please don't worry Sparkling, Ive had the "well woman" tests recently and all fine, It seems I just like to piss a lot Grin

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 19:58

Nice!

Vintage45 · 27/02/2016 20:00

Is the word piss repugnant on mumsnet then Grin

WorraLiberty · 27/02/2016 20:01

I worry that it's emotionally broken men waiting to die

Fuck me. The service is slow in my local but it's not that bad.

Sparklingbrook · 27/02/2016 20:05

Not that I know of. I haven't heard wazz for decades though.
