Hi Jim, I agree with you about all those pubs being preferable to Wetherspoons though obviously I do not frequest them as often as you :-)

BUT I was in town centre today panic buying and bumped into a mate doing the same. We nipped into the Bankers for a pint and got two Pale Riders of excellent quality in a packed boozer within moments at about £1.80 a pint.

It was handy. At the other end of town I go to the Cat, Deer, Bath. Further out the Sheaf. And the Fat Cat.

I did go to the Walkley Cottage but I just barred myself. The landlady seems to think dogs buy more beer than people and therefore should have priority.

And there have been others in Sheffield with the same attitude and I didn't drink there either.

I, feel a thread coming on......
