Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

Interesting mixed messages...

Stafford FM says - It has come to our attention that multiple media outlets are reporting that the Butlers Bell Wetherspoons is up for sale again.

These reports are inaccurate and Stafford FM can confirm that the pub is NOT on the market. We have spoken to the media team for JD Wetherspoon this morning on the matter.

Is the Picture House even nearing completion?, Looks like all work stalled mid February. I mean, it looks like they may need to change that sign again, hopefully, it doesn't become another indibar opening 2011...

Work didn't stall mid February, the work load increased due to issues found with the roof

Your ignorance is astonishing. You've clearly never been in and experienced their customer service and products which are both excellent.

Who the hell are to tell me what my experience is. Absolutely clueless, you and their customer there service

Does this come with a translation to English?

@Gareth
I do sometimes, on occasion, totally support what you are trying to convey, but you don’t make it easy.

@kyoto49 is correct, in that your post doesn’t make sense. (It’s hard to read, grammatically incorrect, wrong punctuation, incorrect spelling etc).

I’m no expert myself, but I’ve personally found that if you want to get a message across then proof read before you post to see if it makes sense.

It doesn’t matter if the Butler’s Bell or The Picture House reopened as none of us should ever visit either again as long as they are owned by Wetherspoons.

Why? Well remember what that multi-millionaire-worth-over-£320m twat Tim Martin did to his staff at the start of lockdown.

Just 1 of the many reasons you’ll never see me lining that arsehole’s pockets.

I probably will, my wife doesnt want to but in 6-12 months when this is all, hopefully, a memory I suspect I will be in one.

Lets hope Wetherspoons goes bust, sod the billions it adds to the economy. We can easily get the workforce doing something useful and tear down those redundant old buildings used.

I imagine a lot of them would just go it alone as the buildings are already kitted out as bars

Though hopefully without the bank of microwaves I’m the kitchen

That’s your choice obviously but I’d would advise you to listen to your wife :D

I have not used Wetherspoons for a few years now.

Lets hope the guy that owns it takes a large financial hit that makes him actually show a little respect to his staff, before this all blows over for whatever the Daily Heil decides is the next travesty.

On the same subject albeit nothing to do with pubs, shouldn’t everyone be boycotting the online retailer BooHoo/ Pretty Little Thing?

A billionaire clothing magnate, manufacturing clothes in a modern day slavery sweat shop paying workers between £2.50 to £4 an hour.
Making them go to work even if they are ill.
A culture of fear and intimidation.

People in their twenties are getting enraged about our history and toppling statues and then go on line and order something that’s probably been made by people living 10 to a room in Leicester, working a 15 hour day.

Didn't he pay them for all the hours worked until the government shutdown then the staff were payed furlough after that?
He refused to pay them himself and claim it back, like everyone else was doing, and instead wanted them to wait a month with nothing til the furlough scheme started paying out. He only backed down because he was scared it might affect his profits after lockdown ended.
