I've been in and out of Durham a few times the last two weeks.
Is it just the Waterhpuse in Durham that suffers the cheap beer who no effect or do other Wetherspoons suffer it?
I saw someone so drunk at one of Sunderland's Wetherpoons so blind drunk they fell over every five yards. Consett's Company Row has an apparent daytime reputation too.
Down Durham, I witnessed one bloke face-slide along the glass front of the North Road Tesco Express and a different day, a security guard have to ban three drunks from Wetherspoons who were trying to buy /steal bottles of cheap plonk from Tescos.
Note each time I was passing and not a Wetherspoons customer (though I was having a pint -only one pint - at the Sunderland one).
These are during the day too. I'd heard the tales but didn't think it was that bad.
Anyone want to do a bet on how long their livers will last?
We stayed in Luton after the game last Sunday. On Monday morning we went to the Spoons for Breakfast and a few coffees before the drive back. A few of my mates were in there from about 9am and me and my daughters got there at about 9:45. at 10am one of my mates reckoned one bloke in the bar was on his third pint that he had personally saw him order. That's some going at 10am.
There were people in there knocking back large glasses of wine with no food as well.
In terms of how long their lives will last, pretty much everyone in there was over 60.
