I like on occasion a g&t or a drop of red wine, then I prefer a cup of tea or a tin of ginger beer, was never in love with booze, seen too much damage in families to 'love it', its a curse and my circle of friends tend to prefer meeting for a coffee rather than drinking alcohol, I think it can be the company you keep too that can make you drink too much.

I have had many a lovely meal at Weatherspoons, especially on curry night. Great value for money.
Might see you in there one day, Andy. :-)
"As an aside I like the way Wetherspoons refurbish grand, old building which have fallen into disrepair."

Quite so. "The Winter Gardens" in Harrogate is the best example I've seen. Close up are "The Lord Moon of the Mall" in London's Whitehall (an old bank and the toilets are in the vaults!), "The Knights Templar" (behind the Law Courts in the strand, another old bank) and "The Samuel Peto" in Folkestone (an old chapel). Soon to be opened is the "Royal Pavillion" in Ramsgate. I'm looking forward to it as I'd used the Royal Pavillion in its earlier life (a seaside theatre cum dancehall). It has been disused for about 25 years.
Used to imbibe, but age has taken away desire. Like several other desires......sigh.
There is a lovely Wetherspoons in Gloucester, that is a refurbished cinema. We have one in Swansea, which is an old Bank....in fact its now called the Bank Statement !

They don't have any piped music. Before the smoking ban came in, they didn't allow smoking at the Bar. They provide good value meals and for an Real Ale drinker like me, they have something other than fizzy lagers !

What not to like !
Mikey, it's time for your drink!
Tilly.....just poured....its a Martini tonight, with an olive !
shaken........?
Of course !
I have never been in love with alcohol. I will go weeks without a drop of it. When I do fancy a drink I buy the best I can afford and savour it.
Just finished my rather excellent batch of mild, now just starting on the ginger beer for the Summer.

Like you Mickey I rather like the absence of piped music (although The Mary Shelley in Bournemouth does have it after 21:00 and has Sky I believe) and of course the selection of real ales. Down here they usually have Ringwood which is one of my favorites although 8 pints of 49 er can play havoc on the old nut the next day!
I don't generally drink unless we are out and then not very much, very rarely in the house unless we have people round, nor contrary to what most people seem to think about late teens early twenties folks do most of my friends.
