This week I slept in a Wetherspoon, and no not because I'd had too many pints for £1.92 each (yes, you can still get a pint for under £2). I also had a bath, did half my shift there, and was able to walk from bed to the bar in less than a minute. And although there have been more than a few Thursday nights I've found myself at the mercy of a Spoons, this was for a very different reason.
Let's be honest, love them or loathe them, Wetherspoons have become a bit of a UK staple. With their buildings' illustrious histories, 'interesting' carpets and diverse clientele, and with nearly 900 of them across the UK, you're highly unlikely to come across someone who has never visited one of Tim Martin's prized possessions (you can read more about how much those carpets actually cost here).
But while the pubs are famous (or infamous depending on who you ask) for their cheap drinks, does-the-job grub and controversial owner, what most people don't know is that if those beers go to your head, some of the watering holes have rooms where you can sleep for the night.
