So, how many Wetherspoons are there? About 820. But honestly, the number that matters is “enough to make you feel safe and slightly embarrassed simultaneously.” That’s the magic of a Spoons: it’s always there, like a pub-goblin that grants you a cheap morning drink.
Next time you’re in one, do what I did: look up from your phone, count the ceiling tiles, and appreciate the scale. Or don’t. Just drink your pint and enjoy the fact that you’re one of millions in a network of sticky-floored, church-like boozers. Cheers to that.
