I will assume that is a jest.... but... pretending it is serious, who, except Tim Martin (and who on here care about him), would be really hurt if they went under if their clientele stopped frequenting them?,

Probably those employed there

The companies that supply wetherspoons with food

The companies that supply wetherspoons with alcohol

The companies that supply wetherspoons with non alcoholic drinks

The companies that supply wetherspoons with decorating services

The companies that supply wetherspoons with furniture

Those who clean the pubs etc.

The architects who draw plans for the pub conversions

Those in building trade who do the conversions

There is always a supply chain that are affected by a business going under.


Rather a worrying lack of economics on display

Not many Wetherspoons fans on here.

Myself, and drinking pals regularly do. “Wetherspoons tours”, economics or not.

Don't have to be a Wetherspoons fan to realise their is an economic supply chain that will suffer if a business goes belly up

Whether you are a fan or not, the economic supply train is a fact

I don't actually mind 'Spoons. There have been a couple of the 'fancy' versions very near two places I used to live, and I enjoyed going to them. But then when they started leaving the weird Brexit propaganda all over the place I found it a bit off putting.

I don't get it personally. It's a pub/hotel chain. Not some kind of news outlet. Sure, have opinions, discuss them with friends, but if you're going to foist them on your customers, expect a reaction.

But none of these are niche products or services particular to the Wetherspoons offer are they?

We're not talking machined parts unique to a range of washing machines or tanks or bicycle drivetrains, nothing specialised. Everything on your stupid list could serve the outfit taking over the Wetherspoon chain, or whichever hospitality outlets absorb the Wetherspoon clientele.

If I'm supplying paper clips to your legal firm and you go under because word has got round you can't tie your own shoelaces, I may find demand picks up at all the other legal firms in the area. Or, with a grant of a few hundred million from my mate Matt Hancock I might diversify and become a supplier of monkeypox PPE.

Worrying surfeit of dumb on display.

Shame not that difficult to say it if you try.

That’s the thing. It is easy to say.

What are you on about? Other political parties don't find it easy to say.

Of course they don't, but, that might be because one of them might actually have to DO it. Promises are easy, if you know you are exceedingly unlikely to have to honour them.

Piffle: no-one feels constrained to honour manifesto pledges anymore.
Most likely fear of a Corbynesque monstering by the right wing press.
Something for you to consider when conceding defeat to the Sunday Express quick crossword a little later this afternoon.

They just find it easier not to say.

I like your style....expect nothing and hope for some scraps 🙄

Don’t do crosswords, and, most definately NOT an Express reader
