A reporter spent 16 HOURS in a Wetherspoons - and learned a whole lot. Bethany Gavaghan took on the challenge down in Cardiff, Wales, recently.
From cheap drinks to value for money grub, she experienced the lot. Here, she chronicles her experience at the Price of Wales, WalesOnline reports.
8am: One person goes through the doors before me. I thought I'd be the first one in. The mood is relaxed, and quiet, with only two or three customers wandering around, and staff are busy placing menus on tables. I've ordered the hot drinks refills for £1.56 because I'm keen to see how many drinks I can get out of this before anyone raises an eyebrow.
When asked how much alcohol and coffee Wetherspoon sells every year, a spokesperson for their press office responded: "Alcohol, no idea. Coffee around 1.5 million cups a week across all pubs." That's a lot of hot drinks.
I sit in the centre of the room so I can get a good view of what people are up to and what the vibes are for the first couple of hours. Sitting with a mocha (the first purchase of the day). I felt a bit like I was in a hotel as I selected which drink to go for on the machine. It's so chilled in here, with a few people already enjoying some food.
Eyeing up one man's breakfast, it's tempting to open up the Wetherspoon app again and order it to the table, but wanted to wait until at least 10ish. A full English at 8am on a Wednesday morning feels extreme. There are about six or seven people in the pub by 8.30am.
They looked like they had places to be, throwing back hot drinks and eating as fast as they could, and nobody seemed to hang around very long at all.
9am: I did think it might be busier by now. It's still super peaceful. An older lady is sitting across from me

You might see the same four digits on your phone clock when you glance at the time, on your bill as you pay for dinner, in a new friend's phone number in your contacts, or even on a house address as you happen to look up during a walk in your neighborhood.Surely, seeing the over and over again can't actually mean anything, can it?Well, it may sound a little far-fetched, but some believe that certain numerical patterns that keep randomly appearing in our lives are actually hidden messages from the universe, also known as angel numbers.“If you believe in the magic of synchronicity, then angel numbers can definitely be a part of those random coincidences that feel more than just a mere number,” ,” tells Glamour UK. “Numerology has been a part of esoteric circles for millennia, so it still holds weight in our modern world.”Angel numbers are simply repeated numerical patterns that you keep seeing randomly in your life.“Angel numbers are a string of repeating numbers like 222, 999, or numbers that have an uncanny sequence that keep popping up around you, whether it’s the time on your phone or on your oven clock,” says Jackson.These numbers are said to be signs from the universe—in other words, they are a sign that greater forces are trying to communicate something to you.

Reading & Leeds would look very different this year if it weren’t for grassroots music venues.As revealed in a concept poster shared by the Music Venue Trust, the festival would be missing virtually all of its 2024 artists – including headliners Liam Gallagher, Fred again.., Lana Del Rey, Catfish And The Bottlemen and Gerry Cinnamon – if it weren’t for their foundations in grassroots venues.The reimagined poster highlights how many of today’s most successful artists came up by playing smaller music venues, which continue to face indefinite closure across the UK without urgent government action and investment.“Today’s festival headliners can only sell thousands of tickets because of the essential role played by these venues in their development,” the MVT shared in a social media post today (Monday 25).“Nurtured in grassroots music venues, they built their audiences from tens to hundreds, laying the foundation for their success on the grand stages of festivals like Reading & Leeds.”Check out the bare line-up poster below.The Reading & Leeds festival lineup poster, minus any artists who launched their careers in Grassroots Music Venues….Posted by Music Venue Trust on Monday, March 25, 2024Only artists like Reneé Rapp, who started in theatre, Digga D, who rose to prominence with freestyles, and Kenny Beats, who came from a production and industry background, would remain on the bill.It’s not just the Reading & Leeds line-up that would lose most of its acts were it not for grassroots music venues.
