It wasn't the only one experience Barry.
Three years ago I was tempted to try out Weatherspoons on Southport's Lord street.
My late wife and me found one door partially blocked by two folding baby carriages and almost behind the other door were two youngsters, not fully trained in the simple art of walking, shuffling around the floor squealing joyfully.
Two females ( who I assume were the children's mothers)with Liverpool accents were having a heated discussion using language I last hear by dockers when I was pumping oil on to a ship.
We did a smart about turn and went to a small cafe at the very end of Lord street frequented by a lot of the local people who work in the area. The food was cooked fresh within sight by the owner and the atmosphere was very pleasant with friendly chit chat between the customers.
The Weatherspoons and similar establishments seem to do a roaring trade so must be catering for the mass's. If only the Calder would build a smoking den out of sight it would look more appealing.
