Pubs attract the dregs. Nothing special about 'spoons in that regard... certainly not the worst pubs around here either during the week or at the weekends.

The Slough one is a lot rough during the day. The Harrow one was a lot nicer. It is very much the area.

I would eat on my own in spoons early evening and in a decent one have breakfast.

A cooked breakfast is a good cure for depression.

And many do, there's always one guy with a pint no matter how early you go in ours...

For the money, their fry up is generally not too dismal and I used to love their 99p sausage baps. Half-decent coffee too, although these days you struggle to find anywhere that doesn't do 'real' coffee. It wasn't that long ago that instant was the norm.
