Re: Pub ??

This "Last Orders" outfit sounds ghastly. What I am surprised at is the change of names. I seem to recall reading a few years ago, at the height of the plastic paddy pub conversations, that legislation would be introduced placing restrictions on pub re-naming. Either that legislation has not happened or the thicko's at HBC are not aware of it.

I am surprised that Ossy Mills never considered taking over the Printers. I would have thought it would have perfectly complimented their existing estate.

I saw them and assumed they were part of a chain. What's wrong with Weatherspoons, Tea? At least they don't allow music, which has to be a good thing in my book - can't stand trying to carry on a conversation with music blasting out. Stick to the Stag, then you can't go wrong.

I couldn't see the sense in renaming the Tanpits. What has "The Plough" got to do with it? It's the Tanpits and it's on Tanpits Road.

Eh? Well, apart from the music bit, just about everything is wrong with Wetherspoons. They are to beer what Macdonalds are to food and I would rather become teetotal than step into one of the soulless black holes they so laughingly call a pub.

We used to have a thread on here on Wetherspoons in Accy; last time I saw it must have been over a year ago.

Re: Pub ??

I Don't believe it!!!!!!!

It appears that the good burghers of Hyndburn are in the process of granting planning permission for the conversion of retail premises on Blackburn Road into a "luxury super pub". This time, the villians are the Barracuda chain, and we're about to get a "Smith and Jones" themed establisment.

Ignore the slick marketing spin of this company. Having previously visited one of their outlets, which I can only describe as a super-sized vomitorium, I can assure you that this place will be worse for Accy than one of the obnoxious Wetherspoons joints. Should this go ahead, it will be a sad day for the town.

Who will join me in getting a petition rolling?
