Pints at 9am

[zoco]

Just past Wetherspoons and there they all were stuffing themselves with full English breakfasts. Fair enough - I love a fry up myself. But pints of beer at 9am?! It was a rather unedifying spectacle.

And, I hate to say it, but judging from the accents I could hear, they were all from a certain region way north of my own neck of the woods.

Hi zoco.

I empathise with you there. I have no truck with those who feel the need to imbibe at breakfast. It's bad enough when someone is cracking open cans of beer on the late afternoon commute. Surely waiting until they reach home or a suitable hostelry would be better than appearing to be alcohol-dependent on a crowded train?

In Wetherspoons?

In Wetherspoons?

You go to the place that's open, sells food AND alcohol

Otherwise you have to drink some random spirit that someone has left over from holiday and eat what other tulip food that's in their house, Supermarkets don't open until 10 or 11 on Sunday.
