Spoons Gloucester Rd Planning Ap

Spoons have always been quite handy in what they provide, food and drink at a cost that is appealing to, amongst others, those people that may struggle to pay the prices elsewhere, and with prices pushing £6 a pint in some pubs on Gloucester Road, they can not complain if someone tries to do it for £2 cheaper. They also provide a perfect meeting place on away games, in some far flung outpost, before moving on to somewhere local, and better.

Tim Martin may have been vocal in his opinions on Brexit, but 'intelligent' he most certainly was not. He was so clearly out of his depth on Question Time, that he came across as someone who couldn't actually find his arse with both hands. It was car crash television. He didn't cover himself in glory with regards to the furlough scheme either, but I should imagine most people will forget that quite soon, just as they have Sainsbury's, as well as Tesco, Aldi, and Iceland, for selling us all horse disguised as beef. Those boycotts didn't last very long after all.

Pubs will always be a more exciting and tempting prospect before a match, when a pint in most club houses resembles having a drink in 'Phoenix Nights'. They really need to move with the times a bit, if wanting to add fans' pre and post match beer money to their coffers.

In the end weatherspoons did furlough the staff and has took them all back on and has done a good job of updating them and bringing in safety measures - having a daughter who supplements her Student loan by working in a spoons round her uni work I will still be supporting the soulless microwaved tasteless beer and hope others do so she can keep a job but it’s all down to choice.

As opposed to all the other pubs already on Glos Rd? Or what about the 'alcohol-fuelled humans'? 

Congratulations, you have obviously added mind reading skills to your list of powers in that you’ve decided what Bishopston’s thought processs are. I wonder if you’ve also managed to deduce that I was trying to have a bit of banter? Perhaps not.

I respect your opinion of Mr Weatherspoon. It’s different to mine. He makes it possible for people to have a few drinks and a meal at a reasonable price. Very often the presence of one of his pubs makes others in the area more competitive. That quite clearly is of benefit to everyone. Especially old sods like me who like a quiet pint and who don’t want to be too far from the toilets.

Ventured into a Spoons for the first time last year, in Worcester - was pleasantly surprised, as, from the press they get, I was expecting clientele more suited to a wild west saloon!

On a different subject. Please shop and dine local during this month's eat out to help out offer. Companies like McDonald's and Wetherspoons don't need our support. Also you will save more going to somewhere a bit more expensive. I am a big supporter of local businesses.

Let’s. Now, where’s the bathroom?

Think I'll swerve that one!
