View Full Version : Wetherspoons clientele
HottyMcBuff 21-09-2004, 16:14 TRUE OR FALSE? Discuss
Swim inn - Sober students, too broke to make it any further up west street. Discussing late 80's/early 90's TV no doubt
Cambridge Street - Drunk students, spending mummy and daddys money. Women holding the back of their short skirts to stop the guys in the perv seats below the stairs letching at their thongs.
The Woodseats Palace - DAYTIME - the gentle, sweet, retired folk of Sheffield, enjoying a beer in the afternoon with friends. EVENING - chavs, thousands of em, don't shoot till you see 'B' of the 'Burberry' lads!!!
The Bankers Draft - Chavs - formerly of Woodseats Palace fame - after growing up and realising how much beer their benefit can buy them, they began drinking here due to its high quotient of betting shops in its immediate area. Go home on bus that gets them home in time to watch the 10 minute freeview before bed.

Erm ... where exactly is this club? :)
i popped in the bankers draft for a quick pint on wednesday to be honest i cant see the difference since they did a re fit a few months ago
i did notice they have a policy of not serving customers who wear baseball caps is this a city centre thing ?
MuteWitness 04-03-2005, 08:32 i just thought it was for people who dont want to be ripped off up west street, and want to chat

They seem to think that if someone takes their baseball hat of they become a completely different person.

Hotty fits into several catergorys:
1. the blokes letching at womens skirts
2. Student with not enough money.
Wetherspoons. cheapskates 9lots of civil servants:suspect: :hihi: ) and older folk in the day.
Lloyd: drunk people. lots of drunk women:D
Bankers Draft : scum
Swim: drunk groups and nutcase type males.
never really noticed a great amount of students in any of the above:suspect:
Kristian 04-03-2005, 23:32 I'm quite liking the Woodseats Palace these days; I spend a fair amount of time in Woodseats, and as such I find it one of the better places to go in the evening.
Before anyone suggests, I don't wear Burberry (the mention makes me feel ill and want to lay down with a wet flannel over my forehead!) nor do I wear a sovereign ring! :P

WallBuilder 05-03-2005, 00:04 The one at Woodseats has too big a frontage and so it is sometimes difficult to see which door the drunks are going to stumble out of. If I go to the chippy and walk home i have a choice, walk past the Woodseats Hotel and get deafened by loud music and have some drunken slob on the benches outside asking me for a chip or walk on the other side past Wetherspoons and get bowled over as some drunk stumbles out looking for the chinese chippy. I'd walk down the middle of the road but no the drunks have beaten me to that as well.

Why not try a quick pint in The Chantrey, and then die of boredom like Martha Longhurst did in the snug!

You're thinking of Surrey Street; that's where The Graduate is. Cambridge Street runs down the right hand side of John Lewis.

muddycoffee 06-03-2005, 15:13 I too often go in the woodseats palace. And know someone who used to work there, who told me that the late afternoon the clientele include alcoholic postmen, who spend every single last penny of their wages and often spill lots of pennies all over the counter, trying to find the price of another drink.
In the evenings, the place is most busy between 8.30 and 9.30pm where all the chav crowd seem to meet and drink alcopops or blandweiser, and shout in each other's earholes before moving on to the big tree, where they can do the same thing while being deafened with horrible hallam FM chart music which they amusingly like to call R n B, even though it sounds nothing like the Rolling Stones.
After this time it is far more pleasent, and many of the tables have groups of people over 30. And a great deal of older people, many of them my neighbours.
Later I go over to the chantry where I entertain the pensioners with a few music hall songs from the 1900s on the pub organ, but they are too deaf to notice that I've changed some of the words to rude ones!
I like lloyds bar on Mondays when its not too crowded and you can just sit and have a chat.
Bar staff are friendly too, except one guy who always seems to look like hes been forced to serve people
