You're the one who earlier in this thread said that you came to Southampton & headed straight for the local Spoons so you must be summing yourself up in your post.

I like the way you seem to have a problem with me though mate with your snidey comments, did you find out I f*cked your wife or something?

I hate f**king Wetherspoons pubs, if they weren't so cheap I'd never set foot in one of them again. Great if there is a crowd of you, but terrible if its just one or two of you, or if your waiting for someone.

Reading has three Spoons pubs, all within a short walk.

The Monks Retreat in fairness is a pretty decent pub, but a bit 'jailbait and work drinkers' on a Friday night.

The Hope Tap (see above). If Dickins was alive today, he'd be writing stories about regulars in the 'Hope Tap'.

The Back of Beyond - During the day looks like it houses all of Readings child sex offenders, and those who are contesting their supervised child contact orders.

Readings pubs are dying out.

Banter mate you need to chillout. I did go to the spoons and was shocked as i never really thought of Southampton as a dump. The whole high street was full of tracksuit wearing tramps and i am sure Jermemy Kyles gets most of his guests from there. No offence intended. We ended up in O'neils which was a strange place too but full of Palace fans so we stuck it out. Will be in there for our forthcoming game if you want to meet up i will buy you a pint.

The one in bexleyheath is called the wrong un.

Doubt you could find a pub with a worse name if you tried

When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

This fantastic old hotel has had a paint job done on the outside, now looks half decent, if you like magnolia.
On the way back to its former glory after a period of neglect and disrepair.
