Don't like Wetherspoons pubs .Been in the new one near us twice and thats enough for me but having said that , I can't see why people are getting their knickers in a twist over this .

What don’t you like about them?

[Jack Grey]

I've been in some really posh ones and some dives

 

The Banker's Draft is the nearest one to me and could be classed as a bit rough

 

But its always busy and the food is pretty decent

 

It just hasn't had a refurb since it opened 20 odd years ago

Too noisy .The one near us is like being sat in the British Steel canteen . Also I've never liked big pubs .

That's all very well but doesn't show how JD Wetherspoons shares have performed over more than the last year.

 

Try the historical charts on this link - specifically the 5 and 10 year ones. It's down from about 1700.00 at the end if 2019 to about 800.00 now.

Surely COVID is the reason for that 

 

Who'd have thought that shutting pubs for nearly two years would have such deep and far reaching damage to the industry 🙄

Are people getting their knockers in a twist over it? There's been lots of people claiming left wing people will get their knickers in a twist but there hasn't been any evidence of it.
