NO its mehead, tab ass co.

Thanks skinny thats answered the question. tabasco may be so but as Harry said they get bodies in the door, you don't have to drink there just buy the shares :o))

I can't believe that tabasco didn't really rise to the bait from your southern beer 'dig' !!! I was anticipating a really good but pointless argument over that one!

Im just unpredictable Harryor so they tell me?or perhaps Im not.not really sure?who cares?

Ironically I've never had a drink (beer) in any of the 5 or 6 wetherspoons that I've been in. Although I can say that their big breakfast is good value.

Yeryou can eat it twice?

The share price is good today to 529p

Financial position

There have been no significant changes in the Company's overall financial position since the IMS statement update on the 4 May 2011.

Outlook

As previously stated, the company, in common with many businesses, continues to be faced with rising costs for a wide range of goods and services, combined with a reduction in disposable income for many of its customers.

Sales and cashflow continue to be resilient and the performance of our recently opened pubs remains encouraging, which should enable the Company to produce a reasonable outcome in the current financial year.
