WetherspoonsJ. D. Wetherspoon (usually called Wetherspoons) is a pub chain based in the UK. The chain aim to undercut the prices of other pubs in the country. Wetherspoons pubs have a standard pub menu throughout the country, and never play background music. The chain has formidable buying power and does not stock Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort or any Bacardi products because of conflicts with suppliers. History JD Wetherspoon got it's name from the Chairman, Tim Martin's Teacher in New Zealand named Mr. Wetherspoon, who once wrote on a report of his that he would never amount to anything. The JD part came from JD out of The Dukes of Hazzard. Apparently one of Tim's favourites. Recently the chain have launched a number of new-style bars, under a their new Lloyds Bar brand, including those in Newcastle and Carlisle. These new bars play contemporary music (along with corresponding music videos that are displayed on wall-mounted televisions) and often have a small dancefloor that is used at weekends. Lloyds Bar has a similar food menu to the normal Wetherspoons outlets and, in keeping with Wetherspoons tradition, the prices tend to be below those of other bars of this type. External links
