Picture the scene, a Midlands town market square; people going to work, shops just opening up. Market traders putting the finishing touches to their stalls, and outside the Wetherspoons a small queue is forming.
I would like to think that they are eagerly anticipating opening time so they can have a mug of coffee with their vegetarian breakfast, but somehow I doubt it. I'm all for extending opening hours so pubs don't have to shut at 11pm, but who really needs a pint at 9am?

Not me, I can happily wait til at least midday ;) But some of those old unquenchables had probably been up and dressed for three hours by then and were gasping!
Wetherspoons breakfast - the slightly more acceptable face of alcoholism.
I'll admit - I've had a pint with a cooked breakfast at 0915 on a Sunday morning.
As for who needs a pint at 9:
- scoopers
- old soaks
- students who haven't been to bed yet
- shift workers
A pint of stout with a cooked breakfast is lovely. A pint of gassy lager on an empty and ulcerated stomach is just vile.
