Love spoons me like
what if there is no other pubs to sell to in your area because wetherspoons has priced them out?Aye spoons is always full of small brewery beers and real ales.
But surely that's just business. If you don't want to supply them then don't bother.
you mean like wearing British made stuff over imported stuff, aye your right. same as buying locally sourced milk, buying British red tractor meat, buying British made clothes etc. i do it where i can, cost and availability permitting.I assume anyone with a problem with spoon also doesn’t shop at any major supermarket, buy cheap clothes, or indeed anything that comes at a reasonable price because at somewhere along the supply chain someone isn’t getting a deal they are entirely happy with
to hand no, because i'm at work. a lot of it was verbal, but there have been articles online to support my point. then again, it depends on your fiscal leaning. if you believe in monopolies and control, then it would be a massive waste of time for the both of us. if you believe in fair business, it's a reasonable point.I'm always skeptical to how much truth there is in these claims like
Do you have any proof of this?
They will start to go down, as will be shown eventually. Nothing is entirely irrelevant.But sales are up, it's the costs that are increasing
I understand that mate. In my opinion it's a moot point. Those small brewers aren't obliged to do business with spoons.buying wholesale and selling a lot is great to a mass producer. not so much a smaller producer. you'd think someone who was so vocally supportive of British industry was willing to pay the going rate for a local brewer.
I buy local milk direct from the farmer, but understand why others don't.Supermarkets do this to Milk suppliers tbf as well, doesn't stop me buying my 4 pints every week
Because there's not many farmers in Eden ValeI buy local milk direct from the farmer, but understand why others don't.
There's farmers all over the country setting places where milk can be bought directly from them. I know that Asda sells one brand of milk that specifically benefits the farmer. I've got the benefit of a purely local source, but there are efforts in place to redress the balance. I suppose it's similar to Spoons buying in some craft beers at a price that benefits them both. I don't think many of their customers partake, as it's a niche market. Milk however isn't.Because there's not many farmers in Eden Vale
King GammonWetherspoon's profits plunge by 19%
Lots of potential factors in the mix of course, but possibly a bit of a kick back at Tim Martin as well?
I always thought spoons was quite fair on the rest of the pub tradeI assume anyone with a problem with spoon also doesn’t shop at any major supermarket, buy cheap clothes, or indeed anything that comes at a reasonable price because at somewhere along the supply chain someone isn’t getting a deal they are entirely happy with
I don't believe in monopolies etc. which is why I have such an issue with breweries owning pubs such as Punch. But my experience of them and my families experience of them has always been one of helpful and good neighbours.what if there is no other pubs to sell to in your area because wetherspoons has priced them out?

it's especially important that we start to do it now, considering the economic instability that we face. as Tim Martin is a brexiteer, you would think he would be more supportive of local British brewers. they are a great company to work for and he should take a lot of credit for building a great company but i just think he should practice what he preaches more.

Only a joke mate, tbf I probably should look into it, I'm just lazyThere's farmers all over the country setting places where milk can be bought directly from them.

This sounds like a service offered by post apocalyptic/Brexit hookers.I would tend to agree with you. I don't think Brexit blowback would be a major factor in those numbers
But sales were up. So you having a go at other people's binary thinking is a bit rich.This is the problem with binary thought processes. There are many factors at play, as was clearly stated in the OP and the question posed was whether Brexit kickback may be another contributory factor, not THE sole factor. We’ve already had anecdotal evidence to support this as a hypothesis.
Many people on here seem to struggle with equations with multiple inputs, and operate as a simple NOT gate. It’s a 1 or it’s a 0. The real world is a little more sophisticated than that.

I used to meet friends for a weekly get together in one near us, but we've all agreed to stop funding him since he posted propaganda everywhere in the place, and even posted it to our homes. I'm sure we're not alone in our boycoutt.
SaucyI bet you'd love a hard Brexit
