Yahoo News Brits asked to describe Wetherspoons to people who have never been - the results were brutal
Wetherspoons is an iconic part of British culture, with most towns and cities having their very own branch.
Whilst some of us are passionate about our local Spoons, have you ever thought what it would be like to describe the pub to someone who has never been? Well, a challenge on X, formerly known as Twitter, posed the question to users - and the responses were savage, Coventry Live reports.
The thread was sparked by account @NoContextBrits, who posted a snap of a Wetherspoons pub with the post: "Describe Wetherspoons to someone who's never been to one before."

Amassing 2.4 million views and drawing thousands of likes and comments, the post went viral, with many Brits offering their own description.
One user quipped it was akin to a "toilet-themed escape room," while another offered: "Inexpensive emergency food set to the backdrop of a dull Earthbound version of the cantina from Star Wars. Freakish looking locals, saw dust and maybe a severed limb on the floor. Often a slightly off smell."
With a slightly different take, another user said it's "Like a pub, but cheaper and without music that sounds like an explosion in a pan factory or a car alarm going off."
Another commenter recalled taking their American spouse to the chain. They posted: "When I took my American wife for the first time I said 'first fight will happen before midday'. I was accurate."
Some said it was "daycare for adults" and celebrities couldn't resist taking part too. 'The Apprentice' star Tom Skinner remarked: "Sticky tables, grubby floors but always full of lovely people. Average 27,504 steps up or down to their nearest toilet inside.
"The beer is always well priced and you can always get a well priced bit of grub too. It's the pub you normally go into before you go out out when in town."
However, there were some positive comments too. One enthusiast wrote: "Affordable drinks and food in an age where everything else is overpriced." Echoing this sentiment, another added: "Decent meal and drink of your choice, under £10."
This view was shared by others, with one more punter stating: "Reasonably priced pint, never understood the snobbery against em tbh."
