Also, I would add that they are usually large buildings which is particularly useful for social distancing. Unlike the cozy local..... which I also enjoy.
Right, so the real reason is that people on here don't agree with the owners political views. Fair enough but I guess you'll have to boycott a hell of a lot of businesses.I know what you mean but I did occasionally go in them until brexit. I actively avoid now and just choose alternatives.
Spot on, count me inThe type of people who boycott Wetherspoon's are the types of people who would never set foot in them in the first place.
Horses for courses.It is a fine session beer and as I say it turns over so it is alway lovely and fresh. At least it is where I go.

That is a fair point. I rarely drank in them pre-Covid and I would only drink in them in future in some kind of 'emergency' (ie the only nearby pub thats open or whatever). But I am very cynical of Tim Martin and his influence on political issues. I don't really care what the owner of my local cafe thinks about stuff.Right, so the real reason is that people on here don't agree with the owners political views.

It rejuvenated Norton high street. People were genuinely excited about it opening. Can't say I understood it but I think there is a tendency for some folk to want the 'McDonald's model' when it comes to pubs.The only one local to me is The Highland Laddie in Norton, I went in a couple of times pre covid and it just lacked an atmosphere, probably due to lack of music. Good selection of craft beers and lagers albeit not on draught though but all in all, a forgettable experience. Not a massive fan of drinking where people are eating also.
You visit a bakery at least once a day? That's living the dream mate!I used to boycott Gregg's because I didn't like the way they were swallowing up every other bakery in existence. Then I thought what's the point and I'll go in there from time to time. I did before the pandemic go to my local independent bakers at least once a day though. Cancel culture isn't something I'm generally in favour of. I'm ok with people having different viewpoints to my own.

Not a fan of Tanners then LeftyNot true. There are two in Darlo, one awful, one decent. I've not been in either since early 2016, entirely because of Tim Tithead.
Never complained to ofcom, Spoons is crap and the owner is an arrogant bella lot of these comments translate to "I dont like something, so everyone else shouldn't like it too"
same kind of people who complain to ofcom when theres something on tv they dont like!!
Million miles away. Free country, free choice. Also free to express a view when asked. And I've never written to complain about a television programme in my life.a lot of these comments translate to "I dont like something, so everyone else shouldn't like it too"
