Never ever buy drinks in spoons, unless clocked walking in!!!! Never had any issues.

Although have noticed me self getting a bit on top lately, but I buy a drink in this spoons!!

To be quite honest if I get barred from any spoons and am not on the ale on a weekend I will just go in when its rammed!!
Or just phone up and find out if the member of staff who barred me is working!!!
I will not be taking the barring serious from a Wetherspoon

Of course they're not going to take as much notice of the fruits when it's packed, their priority is to serve at the rammed bar.

But let's be honest, how many people get to spoons for an early start, or go throughout the day when it's much more quieter. Quite alot.

There's no jukebox, no music to cover the noise of coins paying out of the fruits. There's only the noise of old coffin dodgers coughing whilst sipping their ales and talking shit.

Alot of people are indenial. They think, just because it's a spoons they can get away with murder. They are seriously putting their foot down. And for the sake of 2 quid max if it sweetens it up a bit, why not purchase?

Supposedly, barrings will begin around London borough and the south first, and then work northwards.

They should have automatic beer dispensers in spoons. £2.50 a pint. Waiting times are atrocious. Just collect a glass and fill your glass, Nando style.

Btw I always buy a drink in spoons except when it's rammed. Even in some I still will depending on how much fire there is.

Any hit I have which is open before 11am I always make sure I look after.
