I personally don't think this is true snowman, Wetherspoons don't tend to go for this type of property, I could be proved wrong though. It also reminds me of the other saying about Wetherspoons " that they only buy beer that is going out of date" A urban myth ????

uncle mick
what is the type of property they go for? they have just opened in morley main st in what used to be a block-busters old unit.re short date beer the would need a hell of a lot of it for 950 pubs.

Just phoned a pal of mine who lives in Garforth and he said that it seems to be common knowledge that a Church society were poised to have it but Wetherspoons have gone in with a much better offer and secured the property.

I did say "I could be proved wrong"

Got to hold my hand up for that one, I put together a page to resemble the BBC news website with the story.

I edited it after 12pm with the disclaimer at the bottom.

It got over 3500 views, so I suspect there are still people about who fell for it.
