HALFWAY through Dry January, are you sticking to it while maintaining a rigid schedule of daytime and evening Wetherspoon’s visits, like a patriot should?
Donna Sheridan, on remand: “Wetherspoon’s for me is not about the alcohol but the company, the ambience, the sense of joie de vivre. I live in a bail hostel.”
Nathan Muir, animal transportation specialist: “Oh, is the John Christie licensed? I never knew. I assumed it made a living solely as a restaurant serving only the finest fare.”
Roy Hobbs, unemployed: “Yes a dry January, but not in the drinking sense. It’s dry sexually because I spend all day in Wetherspoon’s necking 20 pints per day and weigh 19 stone.”
Julian Cook, screenwriter: “As a young urban professional with a MacBook I head to my local the Evie Frye to work. A Starbucks? Actually that’s a brilliant idea. Never occurred to me.”
Jordan Gardner, barman: “I work full-time in Wetherspoon’s so it would be easy for me to be there every day and not drink, if it wasn’t for working in Wetherspoon’s.”
