Ahhhhhhhhh, now I understand. If you're paying out your dosh to make Tim Martin richer, the virus will leave you alone.

How lucky we are to have Boris to keep us all safe.

Sorry, Darks.... that's not Tim Martin in the image. TM is a Brexit loving owner of a pub chain in UK called Wetherspoons (usually abbreviated to just 'spoons'. It specialises in cheap food and beer in its cheesy outlets where the clientelle will usually find their feet sticking to the carpet if they stand still too long, from the quantity of beer slopped on it by sozzled customers over the years.

One of 'spoons best selling brands of beer is nicknamed "Wife Beater", not because it inherently induces domestic violence, but because it is popular with the sort of bloke who will sink several pints of it and then go home and beat his wife up anyway.

Trust me.... 'spoons is not the place you'd want to dine if you came here.

Tim Martin is not a good boss to work for. He employs people who are the most desperate for work and makes demands on them they wouldn't put up with if they had somewhere else to go. Poor wages, long hours and instant sacking if you step out of line once. When the country went into first lockdown, he sacked his entire workforce and waited until the lockdown ended before hiring again.

He is very good friends with Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage. Which says all there is to be said about Tim Martin.

That's explain why I didn't get the joke.

It wouldn't be that funny, I was an ad for mcdonalds or burger king.

It look like ad for local fast food restaurant only local know, the humor of the place.

Is that the restaurant that made our very own xlaurax go viral on Twitter? Several years ago?

I assumed it was a food is essential, and therefore safe but not alcohol.

Thought to be honest, cutting off alcohol sales completely can probably also be a medical crisis but you don’t have to have it in a bar. So that was the compromise.

Though a lot of people are being really stupid about restrictions.

Here they shutdown all places with a liquor license at 10pm, so the joke is the rona only comes out after 10.

In general Americans took the shutdowns poorly, my state has some of the tightest restrictions and a lot of people failing to follow out of stubbornness. It literally and figuratively is the Wild West out here. ... but yeah messa people gonna die.



I have a very dark sense of humor. It’s how I cope with life and death.

Let's hear it for Tim!



Our local Wetherspoons is an all day place. Its ambience changes throughout the opening time. Full of middle aged couples in the morning enjoying a (cheap) coffee, some having a breakfast. (Yes, maybe a couple of heavy drinkers sinking their first pints - cheap - of the day. Not sure if they spill any on the carpet) As the day progresses, people having lunches, until the evening, when, if you pass you see bouncers on the doors and the place heaving with the young, loud music blaring out - not really my scene but hey, live and let live.

When having a short break in York we enjoyed our breakfast in the local Wetherspoons. A quiet old worlde place, but two plates of scrambled eggs on toast, one with a side of bacon, and bottomless coffee - all for less than we paid for two Starbuck coffees at Kings Cross Station (and I assume Weatherspoons actually pay THEIR taxes)

I've heard of the staff problems. My own experience of ten years of shelf stacking in a nationwide store, is that irrespective of the Rules and Regulations and Codes, the actual store manager had more effect on how draconian they became.

Tim himself, yes, I remember once him spouting off about the prospect of "free trade" post Brexit. When he hit upon the example of the English Corn Laws of the early part of the 19th century I think they called in the White Coats to carry him away, kicking and struggling. Now he is actually bleating against Boris Johnson about the curtailments to HIS OWN freedoms due to the Covid situation. Par for the course.
