Well I’ve been beavering away again, working on version 1.1.3 of Spoons, which has a flurry of updates. Obviously there is another limited edition badge to celebrate Englands Quarter Final match against Norway on Saturday.
But there are also quite a few new Wetherspoons heading our way. As the title suggests (sorry for the poor pun) these include 3 new airport Wetherspoons.
Now it only seems reasonable to stretch the metaphor even further by listing the changes as follows:
The Arrivals
- The Sir Ronald Wates, University of Surrey (delayed opening 14/07/2026) 🎓
- The Sir Frank Whittle, Heathrow Airport (21/07/2026) ✈️
- The Red Gown, University of St Andrews (04/09/2026) 🎓
- The Belle Vue, Manchester Airport (08/09/2026) ✈️
- The Piccadilly Hall, London (13/10/2026)
- The Benjamin Franklin, London (24/11/2026)
- Sant Jordi, Barcelona Airport (26/11/2026) ✈️
- The William Chambers, Edinburgh (03/11/2026)
The Departures
