Wetherspoon ( J.d.) Share Discussion Threads

[maddox] 14/9/2018 11:45

Tim Martin is an interesting character - I picked up a beer mat in my local Wetherspoons promoting a hard Brexit - 'headlined 'Free Trade (ie 'no deal') means lower prices'.

Yet this morning BBC Radio 4 Today Prog. he was contemplating that his prices would have to rise on account of Brexit.

I wonder whether he is going to re-print the beer mats this time with the truth,

Wetherspoon (JD) PLC Preliminary Results

[johnwise] 14/9/2018 08:50

An outstanding bitter

Black Sheep was born from the pioneering spirit of Paul Theakston who, in 1992, followed his heart and dared to start a new brewery.

mkt undecided either way on these results, strong week move into them tho, given its downgrade last week ....

Maybe he's expecting the Queen to pop in for advice on running the Country?

No stained seat covers in the Windsor pub I visited the other day. Wheat beers are a niche market here.

[gerryjames] 14/9/2018 07:55

Yes he's replaced the World Class German Wheat Beers with corriander water. Also with £93,357,000 free cash flow just announced maybe he'll get round to recovering the stained seat covers.

His results are a Political Rant enabled by all the local functioning alcoholics who prop the business up. With cheap beer and demographics on his side over the years. How could he go wrong.

GERMAN MEP Manfred Weber will announce his candidacy to lead the centre-right in next year’s European elections today, which could result in the Bavarian replacing Jean-Claude Juncker as the EU's day-to-day leader.

We can be a FREE trading nation!' Wetherspoons boss shuts down Labour MP in FIERY clash

WETHERSPOONS boss Tim Martin was involved in a fiery clash with Labour MP Jess Philips after he suggested a no deal Brexit would allow the Government to divide the £40billion withdrawal deal between British citizens.

Buying opportunity

[shaunie1] 03/9/2018 11:30

JD Wetherspoon and InterContinental were downgraded to 'sell' at Citi.

[shaunie1] 03/9/2018 11:02

why are we down so much on the day...somethings gotts be out there....

[iomhere] 03/9/2018 10:54

VAT is only payable on the difference between input cost and output cost so it's not as bad as it seems. As for employment I've always considered JDW to be a good employer with bonus payments and free shares after being there eighteen months. Perhaps Tim Martin will rename one of his Brighton pubs The Red Flag.

[jonut] 03/9/2018 10:01

Ballot in JDW 's Brighon pubs over union recognition and low pay highlighted in catering trade mag -



Sept 13th, JDW will be paying customer's VAT on food and drink as protest on high street costs.

Might buy a few more, 4% discount....

[rampant_bull] 03/9/2018 09:32

Don't see any news or broker downgrades

[andyadvfn1] 03/9/2018 08:42

Share price fall today, any reason?

[ignoble] 02/9/2018 13:05

True
My comment was a bit tongue in cheek
Lol

Would imagine Wetherspoons have one or two !
Good that old buildings are converted rather than being flattened.

[lanarkian] 02/9/2018 12:56

Hate to be pedantic but there are plenty of churches that have closed down - some becoming pubs.

[ignoble] 02/9/2018 10:43

God forbid that is ever the case

Would have to start going to Church to
Socialise.
Never heard of a Church closing down.

[tim 3] 02/9/2018 10:25

Totally agree and when all the shops and pubs have gone there will be no taxes coming and in it will be too late, action is needed now.

[ignoble] 02/9/2018 08:05

Well said , Sir

[johnwise] 02/9/2018 08:04

"Pubs are one of the few places that different age groups and income brackets mix freely in a friendly atmosphere. British culture has revolved around the pub for many centuries, and the closure of our pubs through high taxation and vexatious lawmaking is nothing less than cultural vandalism! They should be allowed to thrive, not be taxed or legislated out of existence."
