"Lil Rant"

Any of you people here who are old enough to drink (those that are not don't tell English_Bloke) and go into wetherspoons (i think its all wetherspoons) but they got them signs around saying 'Beware falling prices' where they are selling drinks cheaper for a few weeks. Ok thats the background of this.

Down my local wetherspoons, Sundays-Thursdays they sell bottled drinks (reef, bud and smernof ice to name but a few) at 2 for £3 which is rather nice!

Tonight i was down the wetherspoons and got my 2 reefs for £3 when i noticed a sign saying 'Beware Falling Prices:Bottled drinks now only £1.29, includes Reef' Now if i'm not mistaken 2x£1.29=£2.58 therefore, wetherspoons have made 42p out of me buying 2 at the same time.

Now i'm not petty but i'm still a poor struggling student and that 42p can buy me crisps and a chocolate bar (if i was to budget well) which would also be my lunch.

But if u look at the bigger picture for every 10 people who use the 2 for £3 deal, wetherspoons makes £4.20. Considering that Wetherspoons does get quite packed during week nights due to the large amount of Students/Bums which means that they can easially get £21.00 a night or more. Now X's that by 5, then by however many wetherspoons there are in the country and we are all being taken for mugs!

So Join me in a campaign against these so called 'falling prices' and complain or buy drinks separatly!

Thanks you and good night

(i am VERY bored)

Damn, I just mix the stuff under the sink with lemonade and the night is nothing more than a blur.

Drinks almost everywhere seem rip off to me.


Unless it is a pint for a quid.

Yesh you should walk up take your book of calculations and say 'sort it ouuuuuuuuuuutttt'

If you dont ask you dont get.

We get Reefs for £1 in Wetherspoons and a pint of Carling for £1 in the union...
