    I’m calling foul. There’s no way an absolute ledge would call it “the Spoons”. It’s just “Spoons”.

    Not that I’d drink there, mind. Fucking Brexit Arms.

      Are you a southerner by any chance? Do you call it a bap, a roll? I’ve heard it called ‘the spoons’ when I was in Manchester (I’m French though, sorry about it. Proof: ‘squiwwel’)

        There’s only one Spoons near me. It’s called Spoons.

          and what if there were two, but only one good one. What would that be called?

            As @silasmariner@programming.dev has already noted, there’s no such thing as a “good Spoons”. They’re all McDonald’s for beer.

            But if you need to differentiate between two, you’d use their location.

            That is: “Meet at Spoons by the station for a pre-town sesh, yeah?”

            Or: “We were in Spoons next to Nandos. We’d had some cheeky piri piri and Damo went and shat himself when he necked a Stella! Absolute scenes, mate. Pure bants.”
