Choose wisely.

Some are quite comfortable and pleasant to sit in. Others are huge echo chambers with cloakrooms a ten minute walk up steep stairs.

I haven't been in one for over two years though

They’re a bit of a mix bunch really. Notable ones include Tim, a famous 1980’s heavyweight boxer, and Reece, an American actress.

Oh did you mean Wetherspoons? Good selection of real ales at 1980’s prices. Food is cheap but mostly edible. Generally free of pretentious wankers still banging out about Bwexit.

There's one in a town near us where it's quicker to walk to the nearby public lavatories

And there is always one Wetherspoons in a City that seems to be frequented by the local homeless people. Everybody else who isn’t homeless goes to the other Wetherspoons.

Drink cheap watered down booze at home with your feet glued to the carpet and invite two smelly alcoholics in who will attempt to chat up your Mrs before starting a pathetic fight / squabble.

If you want to get an early start eat a breakfast that you cooked yesterday and kept under a heat lamp all night.

To be fair, some of the Wetherspoons here aren't too bad. One or two are a bit ropey, but 'The Britannia Inn' and 'Gog and Magog' are decent little places, with a nice mix of people.

It's similar to Greggs in that anyone who hates themself and has no redeeming features or skills has to disrespect it in order to feel ........ well anything really.....maybe hide their low self esteem behind.

I enjoy my time in Wetherspoons. They are as lovely as the people who use them or the area they are in.

They have a fantastic business model and make good growth and that's not achievable unless they are very popular.

They aim to give value for money and they ring the changes frequently to keep your interest.

They may not be your choice of venue for your wedding breakfast but for a reasonably priced pub meal before the cinema or while you are out shopping and often with a drink thrown in they are a must.

All of the ones i've visited and I do mean ALL have great staff, clean toilets and welcoming atmospheres

What, prey tell, is a Greggs?

Is that an upmarket and urbane gastropub, Grånny?

"...reasonably priced pub meal before the cinema or while you are out shopping and often with a drink thrown in they are a must."
Do they offer 'prix fixe' pre-theatre menus?

Greggs is a purveyor of lukewarm, grease laden, slime filled stodgy pastry that has swiftly covered every last vestige of land that didn't already have a pie shop on. I go for a vegan sausage roll and a cup of tea every now n then.

I enjoy my time in Wetherspoons. They are as lovely as the people who use them or the area they are in.Is that an upmarket and urbane gastropub, Grånny?Far Far Far from it ........ however you won't die if you avail yourself of the mangalorean curry
