[quote]The smoking ban I think hit many of the seedier dens of iniquity. See more punters stood outside in the cold with fags on than are inside. And yes youngsters in the main these days very different to the mullet flared trousered brigade of the 70s and 80s. Kicking out at 11, a kebab and a punch up, and then down the disco until 2. Wake up next to a beached whale, stagger back home, collapse under your T Rex poster, then downstairs for Sunday lunch, raised brows, stinking of old socks, stale Brut, and No 6. Those days as dead as the jukebox, the last dance danced long ago, the winklepickers pickled, the Ballet left the Spandau.[/quote]

Not forgetting clubs and boozers were cheap back then Cat. You go out with £20 and still have change left over for the following weekend. £20 is about 2 rounds of pints in some places. Going for a night out can cost well over £100-£200. I suppose it's ok if you live at home still.

I use to joke with my parents that with £5 you could take a bird out and still have a change for the bus and a large portion of chips.

When you are clubbing these days, it's scary to see many young people scared to ask a girl for a dance or offer her drink. You see many clubbers on phones. To be honest I do feel old going to clubs but it's good for a laugh.

There does seem to be very cheesy and crappy setlists  these days.

Many of the rock clubs I went to most of the women were there with boyfriends or husbands, but if you asked nicely you could have a dance if you didn't go too far. :blush:

Some places do allow vaping, which bugs me. I hate the sweet smelling vape clouds.

If Spoons can't survive in a shit hole like Swindon it's says a lot IMHO. I like music at the places I drink.

Green Man	Are you Tim Martin's PR man Barney? Spoons is a pub for the unemployed now he is rinsing their benefit money due to slot machines. The only quality I like about Tim Martin is that he was vocal against Covid, lockdowns and forced jabs. I would love to see the data, Matt Hancock laughed at the public so did Boris, Starmer wanted loose men and women at his house parties all to himself. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8619233...Covid-outbreaks.html
Al Gershwin	Another lucrative source of Spoons revenue are the gaming machines, in every outlet! www.pubfruitmachines.me.uk/wetherspoons-empire/ In addition, their growing reputation for food is reflected in the awards received. www.jdwetherspoon.com/about-us/awards/food-and-drinks-2/
Green Man	I should read a propaganda beacuse...? Food in Spoons is not food it's prison and hospital gruel.
Al Gershwin	Perhaps the principal reason that Wetherspoons is so profitable (apart from longer opening hours) is that food makes up almost 40% of their sales. Compared to wet sales, food has much higher profit margins - and Wetherspoons are also one of the UK's biggest coffee vendors. www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/202...f-it-sales-from-food
Green Man	Is pub a pub or just a gastro pub?
