Phil said he would be “gutted” if any further pubs close
Wetherspoons mad couple Phil Fox and his wife Julie with their favourite choice of beverage at The Richard Oastler Wetherspoon in BrighouseHe added: “I meet up once a month in the pub with some lads I used to knock around with in my teens. It’s somewhere for us old fellas to go. Rather than having daycare, we have Wetherspoon, and if they close them down, where will folks of my age go?”
The furthest the couple from Brighouse, have gone to quench their thirst during their 18-year “hobby” is a pub in St. Ives - nearly 400 miles away. In the past, the retired pair have celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary at newly opened pubs, while also regularly scheduling holidays so they can add to their tally.Grandfather-of-five Phil said he fell in love with Wetherspoon pubs almost 20 years ago when his car broke down and he'd ducked into one of their boozers for some respite.
