'Two pints for a fiver' - How Wetherspoons reinvented the pub
The Counting House, Glasgow (Image: Colin Mearns) The Counting House, Glasgow (Image: Colin Mearns) The Counting House, Glasgow (Image: The Counting House, Glasgow) 'It's not the most salubrious bar, but it's where we like to drink,' Donald Munro tells me. He and his partner of more than two decades, Christine Watt, have managed to snag a table outside, but it's in the shade. The Counting House is their favourite place to get a drink when they come into the city centre from East Kilbride. Today's trip was to get a few bits for their upcoming holiday in Benidorm. 'Two pints for less than a fiver,' Christine says, waving at the glasses of half-drunk cider on the table. 'You just can't beat the price, and we like the atmosphere.' And the people watching is good. But it's the price more than anything else, Christine emphasises. A table in the sun becomes free, and they're off. Marion Duffy (Image: The Counting House, Glasgow) The Counting House, Glasgow (Image: Colin Mearns) Sisters Marion and Tracey Duffy are catching up over £4.42 mini bottles of Teresa Rizzi Sparkling Rosé at a table nearby. 'Everyone comes to Wetherspoons!' Marion says, letting out a burst of laughter. The bubbly 42-year-old florist says she has been coming to the Counting House for years, though she can't nail down just how many. It's their favourite location. 'Every year,' she says. 'Maybe four or five.' 'They've got cheap food and it's quite fast,' says Tracey, 43. Though she prefers somewhere a bit nicer for breakfast. For Marion, Wetherspoons has the best variety of people (specifically this one). It's the main reason she is so loyal to the establishments. 'People just chat normally, rather than having to push a conversation,' she says. 'People are really chatty when you go to the bar. When you're out here and you're in amongst it, it's just really lovely.' Last weekend, she met a couple from Australia at the Counting House. 'Only me,' she says, giggling. They have been keeping in touch on WhatsApp, messaging back and forth. A flicker of seriousness crosses her face. 'I don't know if you get this, but see when you meet people and you have a connection and you know that you'll always keep in touch,' her voice trails off. 'It's crazy'. They're in Ireland just now, but they are coming back in a couple of days, 'and they'll probably be back in here'. READ MORE MARISSA MACWHIRTER The beer garden is dissected by one long table. A group of more than a dozen students from Glasgow Caledonian University's podiatry department are celebrating their last exam. I ask them why they have picked Wetherspoons, what's the draw? Gary Mitchell (Image: Colin Mearns) 'Cheap bevvy,' says Gary Mitchell. Quickly and with a smirk. They find it easier to get a seat here than in other places, 'which are expensive'. 'The drilling just adds to it, that's Glasgow, man,' he adds, gesturing at Prince Albert in his white sling. Another student at the table motions to the building behind us. Someone has put a sign in the window that reads 'Trump is a jobby'. Everyone at the table agrees that Wetherspoons just is what it is. 'It attracts a multitude of people, no one is in the same age group or doing the same thing.' A pair of 19-year-old students from City of Glasgow College are sitting in the shade against the side of the building. Behind oversized sunglasses, they watch the sunny tables like hawks, waiting for one to free up. Anna, from Hamilton, and Sophie, from Uddingston, are not too sentimental about being at Wetherspoons. 'It wouldn't be my first choice, but it's cheap and close,' says Anna. It's just an easy option after attending lectures on campus. And the beer garden gets sunshine. No sooner has she said it than a table opens up. They pick up their pitcher of red cocktail and move along. Sophie and Anna (Image: Colin Mearns) The Counting House is just as busy inside as out. JD Wetherspoon reported that the recent good weather had buoyed sales as of late. Despite warnings from owner Tim Martin that pint prices would soon be hiked by 20p to offset elements of the latest budget, like-for-like sales are up 5.6% in the 13 weeks to April 27 across the chain's 795 UK pubs. It's a Tuesday afternoon, and a tour around the Merchant City proves that business is not so booming elsewhere. Punters are dotted around the outdoor tables of independents and smaller chain outlets, but nowhere is enjoying the same success as the Counting House. The latest edition of Wetherspoons News (more than 100 pages of pro-Spoons' copy) boasts that the pub is number three on Google Maps' list of best-loved pubs, making it number one in Glasgow. It also has a special article titled 'Killing Off An Urban Myth', in which the idea that the pub chain buys beer close to its sell-by date to keep the prices low is dubbed a 'ludicrous fairytale'. It is, perhaps, a symptom of the times that price takes precedence over all when it comes to choosing one's watering hole. Getting out and socialising is important no matter how tight one's belt is, and Wetherspoons appears to have dominated the cash-conscious market, though well-heeled punters are always about. The irony is not lost on me as I climb the marble steps leading inside the Counting House, a former bank. It's breathtaking inside. (Image: Colin Mearns) (Image: Colin Mearns) The Counting House, Glasgow (Image: Colin Mearns) The Italian Renaissance-style former Bank of Scotland head office, designed between 1867 and 1870 by JT Rochead, became a JD Wetherspoon in 1996. Scotland's flagship Spoons. The walls are decorated with paintings, drawings, photographs, and quotes about money. Beautiful caryatids adorned with symbolic objects, like scales, watch over punters as they fiddle with the Wetherspoons App, trying to order a pint of Stella. When they are not hunched over their smartphones, patrons are gazing up at the magnificent glass dome ceiling. Earlier in the morning, I had visited two other Glasgow Wetherspoons: The Society Room on West George Street and Hengler's Circus on Sauchiehall Street. The silence inside the pubs during the breakfast hours was unbearable. Neither venue is as impressive as The Counting House, but both embodied the same accessible Wetherspoon spirit. I watched as £5.75 plates of Scottish breakfast were ferried off to tables scattered around each venue's different seating areas, the scent of fried oil wafting through the air. All around, people were clutching white porcelain mugs. Coffee is just £1.71, and the refills are free. Morning, regular John McDonald is poring over a crossword while having his coffee. He tells me he likes that it's so quiet. He comes in once or twice a week because it's open early (7.30am), unlike the coffee shops near his Dennistoun home. 'Nowhere else really provides the same thing,' he says, before joking that the prices keep going up. Love it or hate it, Wetherspoon's provides a crucial meeting place for many people in Scotland. The prices are accessible to many, the quality is consistent, and the staff are friendly. They allow people from every corner of society to brush elbows, often in beautiful buildings. The growing need for such cut-price provisions says more about where we are as a society than anything. And one thing is for certain, everyone in Wetherspoons is happy with the price.

Strictly's Wynne Evans admits to another mishap in latest update
Wynne Evans has been axed from his BBC Radio Wales show after making an 'inappropriate and unacceptable' comment during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour launch in December. Wynne Evans has candidly confessed to fans that he "messed up again" while sharing an update about his career, following his recent admission on social media. The radio presenter had previously informed his listeners that he would be departing from BBC Radio Wales after the station chose not to renew his contract. The announcement of his removal from the daytime show came after he apologised for what he described as an "inappropriate and unacceptable" remark made during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour launch in December. In a bold move, Evans has since declared he will be launching The Wynne Evans Show on a new app, describing the venture as both "terrifying" and "exhilarating" much to the delight of his supporters, reports the Mirror. "Um, so the message stopped halfway through, so the headline is I'm starting my own radio station. Well, I'm taking my own show. "It's going to be on an app. It's going to be on Alexa and Google. As I said, it feels so good to say that - to not have to say smartspeaker and supermarket - other places are available." "Anyway, find out more by going to Go there, sign up to the newsletter, and I can't wait to be with you." The BBC has confirmed that Evans will not be returning to his mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales, stating "is not returning to the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales and there are currently no plans to work with him." Evans, aged 53, faced backlash after being caught on camera making a sexualised comment at the Birmingham Arena during a group photo on stage. He expressed remorse for his actions, saying, "My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise," in an official statement. The radio host reflected on his time with BBC Radio Wales, which began in 2016, describing it as more than just a job but also like "home" to him. Upon the announcement of his departure, he disclosed his plans to start The Wynne Evans show on a new app. Evans's behaviour on Strictly Come Dancing also raised eyebrows among viewers, with some labelling his actions as "awkward". Notably, an incident occurred where his dance partner, Katya Jones, seemed to snub a high-five and moved his hand away from her waist during a live broadcast in October. However, both Evans and Jones later explained that the incident was part of an ongoing "running joke" between them. Jones further dismissed claims that she felt uncomfortable or offended, calling such suggestions "complete nonsense". In a recent interview with The Sun, Evans addressed the controversies stemming from his time on Strictly. He defended a particular sexualised remark, asserting it had been "taken out of context" and was actually related to a nickname for fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick. He further elaborated on a past event where he sent a sex toy to Borthwick, confessing "that was a joke that went too far". On social media, after updating his followers about a new endeavour, the presenter received an influx of supportive messages. Many admirers seem thrilled at Evans' new chapter. Another shared their excitement: "Omg! ! This is amazing. I'm so happy! Well done Wynne!". Someone else responded with encouragement: "Good on you fella! Been listening to you on the radio in the mornings and it's the only show I love!" In a similar vein, another fan added: "Brilliant news, I will be joining you as soon as you start. Good luck you have so much support."
