A tally of those in our pubs as at 9 pm on Thursday, September 8th, 2022 in the evening:
| The Wine Vaults | 2 |
| The Corporation | 3 |
| The Feathers | 4 |
| The Boar's Head | 4 |
| The Park Place | c.6 |
On the other hand, the numbers in Wetherspoons were uncountable, at least 80, probably near 100. And that was a Thursday evening. Admittedly, a number of those at Wetherspoon's were eating and, let's be honest, what choice is there in town to do that? The other pubs don't serve food.
In other words, Wetherspoon's had at least five times the number of people than all the other pubs combined. And they say Wetherspoon's has no impact on the native pub trade.
