Wetherspoons on the motorway

Sadly Wetherspoons pubs are no longer guaranteed to be home to at least one - if not two or three - quiz machines, of course, but for people who've been around since the early days, this might bring back memories of literally going on the road. It's been a very long time since I saw a machine on the motorway...

The more Wetherspoons the better imo. If they put one on the moon I'd probably try and get there.

Its not ON the Motorway.You have to drive onto another road off the motorway to get to it and not just a slip road.

Spoons generally have absolute garbage reflex/qps selections now anyway, its a pretty mute point isn't it.....

At the most 1/15 spoons have any old playable stuff Id guess. At 4-5 machines per pub thats 1/90!

I remember going all the way down the M1 checking every services, ending up playing Brighton, and returning back up the M6 and M74. That was one long trip. There used to be a lovely 10-move Monopoly in Abington Services, stuffed to the gills. £60 every time.
