Now, warm banks are proposed!!!

Why are local authorities getting involved ?  Everyone knows that if you need a warm up you can go into a public building or even sit on the circle line all day .

Councils would be better off running job clubs , even if its minimum wage your keeping warm and would earn enough to have a blast of heat when you get home . Last I heard spoons was crying out for staff ,if people  would rather drink free coffee  refills  all day and be a misserable sod thats their problem .

I think virtually every pub on the planet is crying out for staff, but having got a niece who works at a spoons, and says the staff are treated really well, maybe that's the first stop. Good old Tim.

I only use four or so Wetherspoon pubs at all regularly — I think I'd prefer sitting in those all day rather than travelling the Circle Line.

Our local, Rochester Castle, even provides books and newspapers.

Not bad considering breakfast and an everlasting coffee can be under a fiver...
