We made a video about Wetherspoon and the crisis in British pubs.
And, in order to do so, went on a road trip from the UK's most-southerly spoons to its most northerly...
...only eating, drinking, and sleeping in Wetherspoon's pubs along the way.
Just been made aware of a bar in Soho, that's started dynamic pricing.
It's an extra £2 (£9.40) for a pint after 10pm.
This new idea of dynamic pricing is ridiculous, greedy and needs calling out. Very short sighted.
So we're planning some new features for the app and what to add next.
What sort of things would you love to see in the app?
We're always interested to know what venues and customers would like from the app.
Let us know and we'll add the ideas to the list too.

On the way to London to deliver one message:
"It's not just a pub."
It's the beating heart of our community. Social activity is good for our wellbeing. The pub can help the increasing epidemic of loneliness.
We must do everything we can to save our pubs.
We've been unable to keep up with the number of pub closures for a while now.
The names we see are often local institutions and hearts of their communities.
They're not asking for money, just not to lose 20% of takings immediately.
It will save businesses and jobs.
10% VAT now.
‘THIS IS AN EMERGENCY’ - MANCHESTER’S HOSPITALITY SCENE CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE VAT TO 10%
Our hospitality scene is in crisis.
Restaurants across the country are closing at an alarming rate, and many chefs, owners and operators across Manchester are ‘on a cliff edge’.
They are calling for a reduction in VAT to 10% from the current crippling rate of 20%, more than double the average seen across Europe.
It would ease the pressure they’re facing from rocketing energy bills and the cost of raw materials.
Your favourite restaurant could close tomorrow.
To stop that happening, watch our film and sign the petition here: https://t.co/gzssQUTGiI
Followers in Greater Manchester, make sure you follow @Sacha_Lord and jump on board this campaign.
When a borough is picked, give a shout out to the independent venues you love in that borough!
I’m delighted to announce our Xmas Campaign 2023: Best in the Borough.
Each week I’m going to pick 2 boroughs and ask YOU to reply with the Independent Hospitality venue, you think needs a bit of love and help.
Let’s give the operators and staff the Xmas they deserve.
This is the reality behind the scenes of running an app like #Neverspoons.
We manually process data updates suggested by our users, and this specific task is becoming more frequent.
It's unfortunate to see so many independent pubs closing down.
👉🏻 Keep supporting your local!
@christar123 Yeah, this is a known bug.
It will all be fixed in the new, completely rebuilt version that's coming soon.
Just waiting for Apple to review it, and then we'll get the new Android and Apple versions launched at the same time.
@LEICALIFEUK Hi!
We were aware of this issue. We're just about to launch a completely new version of the app that has part of the app updated to work on more modern iPhones.
It's just in review, once reviewed by Apple we'll post on here when it's ready for download
