Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
Sure I read somewhere that Thwaites have said they are going to refurbish the Reagent, could be wrong though

Was in this week's Observer, Jaysay, and 'Thwaites' said this .. but did slightly appear that they were keeping information close to their chest.

The solution is: just quit thinking.

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
Further speculation in the Telegraph that Weatherspoons may be taking over the Regency.

Congratulations to the Telegraph on finding out where Accrington is

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
I just noticed the CNN news channel and saw a scruffy, boarded up building which I thought at first was the Commercial/Regency.
"Bloody Hell, " I thought, "Has the Wetherspoons in Accy story hit the international news?"
But I was wrong. It's rioting in Cairo.
I guess the Egyptians don't like Wetherspoons, either.

Just to pull you up Wetherspoons sell a wide range of real ales often sourced from local micro breweries at reasonable prices along with the normal fizzy pish they also sell

My thanks for your insight. It was a while back since I ventured through the portals of Weatherspoons due to the reasons stated, an abundance of fizzy pish or some such other processed beverage.
Now after your enlightenment & the piquing of my curiosity, I may venture into one on my next return to UK.
