| Returned again to this "end of eternity, as we know it!). Never the same glass twice, good service though, eventually! Bar staff brilliant, crisps still poor and the Old Bangour tables "bursting at the seams" and I mean trousers!! New additions as to previously mentioned: Jumbo Joe, Davy Pudding, Benny the Pointer, not painter, Graeme with the shiny teeth??, Chris Bacon puss and Big Jock Knew, to mention a few! Gives one something to learn and avoid for the future, God save the Children in this hovel! Flanag1 - 6 May 2012 08:24 |
| Returned again to this hovel and was amazed to see a lady?? called Karen apparently, getting plied with wine as fatter Frank(enstein) was chatting her up, amongst others! The only place for people like these should be confined to a brothel as there are woman & kids around them, however, the bar staff leave a lot to be desired as they allow this to go on. I thought begging was illegal (bar staff don't understand by all appearances) untiI I saw a ragamuffin by the name of Flanagan praying for a free pint from the fat table. Appears that this wee freeloading pensioner has no shame and doesn't realise what he is doing IS illegal. As far as the lack of service is concerned, I'm amazed that the tills are kept busy and the duty female managers rear ends are getting bigger. Good packet of crisps though! This is the place to come if you like dodgy dealings, gambling, poor service, rubbish beer, and constant utterings of nonsense all day long and the odd intelligent conversation regarding the "motherboard" whatever that may be??

| Returned to this den of iniquity 2 days ago and surprisingly the crisps were great. Same old faces, same terrible service and you never get a similar type glass twice for a particular beer. I also noticed what I would call the "looney" table, is getting more characters?? to it. You have 20 ton Tam, 2 ton Tommy, Fatter Frank, Jolly Jaykie, Freeloading Flanagan, Travelling John, Orange John, Retired John, Jolly Jock, The mad dentist and Alistair talk a lot, just to mention a few! As far as the bar staff are concerned, that wee fat arsed girl, Sharon I think, is such a happy chappy and has a voice that that could break glasses. Surprised it's not happened already! Must be the only place where people who are banned from elsewhere can be served (eventually) good thing though, one will never get drunk in this place due to undertaker service.

| this will be the first wetherspoons I've heard of shutting down it had no lager left on Friday and it shut at 10.00 pm on the wedensday , it been empty for the last 6 months and I am not surprised with sour faced bar maid called Sharon working there ! applelazeris - 20 Nov 2011 21:02 |
| First time back since Spring and the same old cardboard cut outs are still wasting their lives away in this run down establishment. Some are even getting fatter and certainly not fitter. Hard to believe they can still get belts to fit around their waists! Flanag1 - 24 Oct 2011 15:18 |
