Lyn and I occasionally eat dinner in Weatherspoons, but as a rule I avoid them, preferring more quirky pubs*. I take some pleasure, then, in directing you here. The founder of the chain, Tim Martin, pumped thousands in to the Leave campaign, but has now lost millions due to brexit. The economy has crashed, taking prices with it. If you asks me, it serves the p’tahk right: first he ruins pubs by tuning many into a bland chain, then he contributes to the ruining of the country.

*Although after what happened on Friday I better avoid pubs altogether for a while. The less said about that, though, the better.
