There are those - such as some in Accy - who suffer from the delusion that the effect will be a positive one. But there are those - like me - who have spent time north and south of Watford and have seen what has happened when Wetherspoons make their ubiquitous presence felt. Like any other national retail chain operation, they are the cancer that destroys the unique identity of towns such as Accy.
You may wish to party today; but when local family owned coffee shops, tenanted pubs and such like pull down the shutters and we go further down that deep, downward economic spiral, then you will rue the day.

You know damn well what I was doing....answering another of your increasingly insulting posts.
Why do you care? OK, so you might make visits back to the town, but the local economy isn't really the top of this agenda.
I suffer from no delusions about what Wetherspoons can do........and the local tenanted public houses are already being boarded up and converted into large family homes(The Adelphi).......the good local coffee houses will survive because a certain level of competition is healthy......after all, you are too discriminating to go for coffee or anything else in Wetherspoons one one of your visits to the town...and will probably drink yours in Coffee Beanz.
You should stay off the alcohol anyway, your jaundice is deepening...your liver must be struggling to cope.
