I believe that the article in the DM is artificially creating a polarisation. It is what they do. The DM is an odious rag. Mrs F reads it daily and comes out with some wierd stuff.

Robert - i was just about to say that you were of this parish. Your story will be in the next ThamesMOG newsletter.  The article with picture is about opposition of Wetherspoons opening in Marlow
“Marlow is a place where the Royal Swan Upper keeps a count on the Monarch's avian possessions.
And where a grey-haired gentleman, replete with tweed cap, black leather driving gloves and Barbour wax jacket taking his hand-crafted Morgan Plus Four for a blast through the Chilterns is completely natural.
Obviously the £40k car is topless, a sign of the driver's commitment to classic open top motoring regardless of the season.” The grey haired gentleman was me!! Haven't been on the forum for a while but someone pointed out that they had spotted me in the Mail and in following the story up on line it led me to this conversation. Just innocently taking the scenic route back from Maidenhead to Reading via Marlow, Henley, Wallingford and Pangbourne. Certainly not expecting to get caught up in a debate about a proposed Wetherspoons in Marlow. I didn't see the photographer although I recall driving down that particular road. Ah well, fame at last!

Hence it's nickname the "Daily Wail" Or 'The Daily Heil' Rag has a tradition of sympathising with the Nazis....

I have grown a handlebar moustache and donned my best tweed jacket in readiness for my next excursion into the Marlow area and will keep an eye out for the paparazzi. Tally Ho!

The folk of Marlow are pretty well up themselves so it's no real surprise that they wouldn't want a spoons, they're probably offended at the suggestion that they need cheap beer...!!
There's a spoons in Henley which is just down the road, they're posh and generally loaded as well, but perhaps the regatta brings in more young rowers on the lash🤷🏻♂️
