Would you go to Wetherspoons alone?

[jmh740]

Just about to take dd to drama classes at the library, I have a book to collect from library wondering if I'm brave enough to go to w'spoons with the book and read for an hour while I wait for dd to finish her class, the library closes at 7 the drama class is 7-8 Would you think it was odd if you saw someone alone in Wetherspoons? The car park I'll park up in is in the middle of the library and w'spoons

No. I'd go to a pub or cafe alone if I was killing time, but draw the line at Weatherspoons.

Yes I would. I love my local Wetherspoons.

Depends on the spoons

I've been to some which are frequented mostly by older people enjoying a pint or two or coffee/ food etc. Or to watch the sport after work.

I have also been to one or two that are just students getting messy from 10am in the morning

Given their stance on Brexit I'm never entering another Wetherspoons in my life, alone or with anyone else

Amen to this!

I have many times. And yes, use the app to order.

Certainly. I'm going to mine in about half an hour. Cheap Guinness on Monday nights !

Many moons ago, I used to work in one. Not only did we serve LOTS of people who came in alone, we'd also sit and eat/drink solo in the bar on breaks or after our shifts. So I don't think anybody will bat an eyelid 🙂

I sat in a Wetherspoons on my own with my phone and a coffee while I waited for my bike to be serviced recently. I didn’t feel any weirder than I would have on my own in Starbucks.

I was put off by the Brexit thing but it was the best of the options available to me as I waited.

The other local pubs will be more rowdy, I do sometimes go to MacDonalds while I wait but that's a 5 mile drive and I ha e to drive past my house to get there. I'm here now feeling quite chilled.

It depends on the branch. I daresay some are more comfortable than others. However, I'm boycotting Wetherspoons now. A shame as I used to enjoy their vegan food but with the lies Tim Martin is promoting about brexit - no way will I add to his profits.

In principle. Yes. Why shouldn't women go ihto pubs on their own?

Yes, actually it’s ideal and I’ve done it when DD was at a ‘Brownies Event at the local theatre. I even had a glass of wine* and a curry! (and MN on my phone).

• We got a taxi home

For those boycotting Wetherspoons, I suppose it's OK to drop by, have a glass of tap water, and leave these lying around :)

Has anyone else here had a magazine called Wetherspoon News through their door today?

Yes Helena. Got one last week. First time I've had one delivered. The whole block of flats did.

I do it all the time when I have to wait for someone/long connection times for trains. I don't think it is unusual at all.

I do, all the time. Free refills on coffee and they also have the app so you don't eben need to leave your stuff or table if you wanted to order food.

Shocking isn't it...how people in this country are allowed to hold and express differing opinions. You've every right never to go to wetherspoons but stop with the bloody virtue signalling.

How is it virtue signalling Raspberry? I'm not trying to impress anyone - and certainly not trying to impress any Leave voters - and I doubt anyone else is either.
It is simply how I feel about handing a single penny of my money to a manipulative self-serving duplicitous liar.
You express whatever opinions you want and I'll do likewise.

Have you contacted every CEO of every product or service you use and find out their stance on Brexit is?

Free refills on lavazza coffee?!
Fuckin hell yeh! Id live there if i could

I don't particularly like weatherspoons but don't have a problem going nearly anywhere by myself, especially if I have a book.
Obviously you'll have to buy something.

the bloke loves the sound of his own voice.

i didnt even know they did a magazine. I dont go in there so had no idea.

DH did the cats bum mouth when he saw it
