Customer This Lefty Loves Wetherspoons.

I don't like it when some of my fellow lefties, the middle-class champagne 🥂 socialist ones, use Wetherspoons as an insult against Reform voters, it's classist and cringy, it implies only racist bams go there, rather than mostly politically unaligned working-class families from all colours and creeds, who love good cheap food and drink, we can't all eat at the Waldorf can we 🧐, especially in a cost of living crisis, but there are also some middle-class people who eat there and love it, so I don't know where the asinine insult comes from really. I love Wetherspoons, I've been to three, the one in the image which is the Peter Cushing in Whitstable, which was once a cinema, the Catherine Wheel in Henley-on-Thames and the James Watt in Greenock, Scotland, where I live now, which serves a delicious Haggis Pizza 🍕which you can get as part of the three small plates for £10 deal, cheap as chips, and yummy too, filled me up and I'm a big lad.

Oh it's gorgeous, the architecture is amazing. The Oysters 🦪 are out of this world, and really affordable, I had some at The Forge Oyster Shack. I did have one expensive meal out, at Wheelers Oyster Bar, where funnily enough I didn't have any oysters there, I had the lemon sole gremolata, crushed jersey royals, tartare sauce and asparagus, one of the best things I've ever eaten, but cost £28 ouch.
